Description
The finest chamomile flowers in the world come from the Nile River Valley of Egypt. Considered a remedy for all ills by the ancient Egyptians, this golden herb remains a modern favorite to promote calm and relieve anxiety. When steeped, these fragrant blossoms smell of freshly cut apples and produce a rich, golden cup with superior flavor. This caffeine free herbal infusion is delicious served with honey.
Story
The name Chamomile comes from the Greek word meaning "ground apple." Its history dates back at least to ancient Egypt, where Chamomile tea was prescribed as a cold remedy. The Romans enjoyed it as a beverage, as well as an incense. Ironically, the name "Roman Chamomile" by which it is sometimes known, does not stem from this time. It rather comes from an arbitrary naming of the herb in the 19th Century by a botanist who happened to find some growing in the Roman Coliseum.
"I don't know enough about what makes a "good" chamomile or a "bad" chamomile, but I do know that when I've had chamomile teas made from the actual flowers from an actual plant, it tastes like this, and not the stuff that comes in pre-sealed packets at the grocery store.
There *is* an odd taste to this chamomile -- sort of like the first time you taste fennel. Not that it tastes at all like fennel, but rather it's a taste experience that's different, and strong, and you either love it or lump it.
I'm on the side of love. :>"
"This is among the best chamomiles I have ever tasted."
"This is sooooo good. The only issue is how much the flowers break apart and the diffuser doesn't catch all the grainy little bits, so I've been doubling my diffusers which helps solve it. Best chamomile!"
"So definitely a lot better then I thought it would be. I am happy brought the big bag. It is slightly sweet with a honey back. Has a wonderful bouquet with a pale yellow steep. I enjoyed this more than I expected I did and I will buy it again."

"Wonderful for sore throats, but I definitely recommend mixing it with something. Personally, I don't like cahmomile on its own, but it tastes lovely when mixed with peppermint, or a rooibos, or any kind of white or green tea. "
"Very cool experience with the loose leaf chamomile, in being able to see the actual flowers. More intense flavors than a tea bag. Very aromatic and soothing."
