This tea has a very nice light sweetness. I'm not big on chamomile by itself but I have enjoyed it in other blends. This tea is very nice and wouldn't be bad to have on its own occasionally. (212F for 5min)
A beloved herb from Egypt's Nile River Valley. The aroma of freshly cut apples, calming floral-sweet flavor.

When I opened my CommuniTEA packet, I was greeted by big, fluffy chamomile flowers and the scent of honey and flowers. This tea is delicious on its own and in blends. It is good both hot and iced.
A light floral taste with the faintest, almost apple-like flavour note that floats to the top of each sip. For those who enjoy chamomile, it's definitely soothing.
Today's CommuniTEA is Chamomile (1-1-23). Upon opening my packet, I had plenty of chamomile. I added some milk thistle and tupelo honey. It was very mellow and a very pleasant way to start the day. I've had this tea before and I've even used it in some blends. I really love it and would highly recommend it!
Chamomile isn’t a favorite of mine BUT I am sitting here sipping it and enjoying it! It is different than the chamomiles I’ve had in the past. My first sip was…..”I’m not sure of this…..but it has grown on me very quickly. There is definitely a taste of apple in the tea. Very calming but also refreshing!
Not your grandma's chamomile tea. What a surprise! I have never liked the stuff, as it was always musty and tasted of straw. The Adagio tea couldn't be more different. No powdered sticks--there were tons of flowers and leaves in my sample. They brewed up at 195F for 10 mins into a golden cup with sweet, floral aromas and tastes. A drop of honey pulled even more sweetness from the cup. I loved the experience--and discovering what actual chamomile tea tastes like.
Chamomile loose tea buds is a world away from tea bags I used to buy.The freshness is appealing. This tea is bursting with flavor while the effects are calming .
I'll preface that I'm not a fan of chamomile, but I gave it a go to see if a few years have changed my mind.
tl;dr: it hasn't.
The tea itself is a bunch of pleasant smelling flowers. I tossed in a few rock sugar crystals, steeped it for 5 minutes at 192F (as hot as my coffeemaker will go), and gave it a go. It was...Okay. Not the best, not the worst, it was...MEH. Tolerable, but not in a rush to have it again. However, It was okay enough that I could handle it in a blend. I had a chamomile and lemongrass a few years ago that was quite nice. Anyway. If you like chamomile, you'll like this one. It was a bit of a pain cleaning it out of my steeping cup, so fair warning: it might require extra cleaning for certain steepers.
I kinda feel about chamomile tea the way I feel about American pilsner beer. I know there is talent needed to make them, they are good for what they are but they will never be an everyday beverage. I can usually spot when there are flaws but cannot yell if one is superior. Adagio's tea is just that...solid for the style, so I think this is good. May try using this in a blend someday but..
Everything you want a calming cuppa chamomile to be. Light and delicate, but still somehow a full, rounded flavour. No sweetener necessary to enjoy this beauty.
In the bag: As one might expect, it’s just the chamomile. Unlike in blends, however, my packet includes longer stems on many of the buds. Some breakdown occurred in transit, causing a good portion of the petals to become loose.
On the nose (pre-steep): Reminds me of a field in summer. Has almost a woodsy smell, though very light. Doesn’t remind me of any foods I can think of. Not intense.
On the nose (post-steep): Ever so slightly sweeter than before the steep. The vaguely woodsy smell has diminished. Perhaps the soak brought sugars out of the petals?
On the tongue (pre-sweetener): Besides the obvious floral tones, I taste an undercurrent of roasted corn. Still slightly sweet.
On the tongue (post-sweetener): Now that toasted corn undercurrent tastes more like buttered corn on the cob. The woodsy notes are gone.
Opinion: Chamomile has a unique flavor that can be pleasant when combined with contrasting flavors, but I don’t enjoy it on its own. I would drink this in a pinch with the sweetener, but I won’t crave it.
Preparation: 7 min @ 212 ℉, ½ tsp monk fruit sweetener
I normally drink my tea unsweetened and was not a big fan of Chamomile, but I have been under the weather and added a bit of honey to mine today and I am really enjoying it. It is a bit of calm and comfort in a cup.
Chamomile 4 stars
Recommended Steep 212°F for 5-10 minutes. I steeped at 212°F for 7.5 minutes in approximately 11 oz of water with 1.5 tsp of Adagio tea/rock sugar.
This is a very pretty tea, visually, with it’s yellow flowers. Oddly enough, it smelled very sweet, but only lightly floral. It reminded me most strongly of pineapple. At first I wasn’t sure I’d like plain chamomile tea, but as it cools, it becomes quite sweet and tasty, with, at least to me, subtle pineapple notes. The flavors even out to a moderate level, with a pleasant aftertaste. I think I prefer chamomile in blends, but I would not hesitate to drink the plain version if it were given to me. It is a relaxing cuppa. 4 stars from me.
I don't drink plain chamomile tea as I have mild allergy to it. A bit mixed in a blend is fine...but chamomile by itself I avoid. This review is on the tea itself, not on brewing or taste as i couldn't drink it. In my packet was a large portion of whole chamomile flowers and a dusting of pieces. Definitely a quality chamomile tea for those who imbibe or those who want to mix the herb in with another tea.
1/1/2023 - I have learned to just avoid chamomile entirely. My body just doesn't react well to it at all.
This is a really good chamomile tea that's soft and soothing to drink. It's perfect to sip at the end of the night to really relax and feel cozy.
UPDATED from 3/2/21: There is the floral aroma of the chamomile meeting my nose as the CommuniTEA packet opens. All the lovely full flowers with happy heads and bits pour into the infuser and steep into the loveliest bright yellow gold! The smell and flavor is distinctly chamomile. It is a full bodied flavor. Sadly, I am no longer a fan (overdid it when it was the only tea I drank for years - not a good idea) but I can appreciate its full flavor, especially in blends. I am so glad I still gave this packet a chance because I was pleasantly surprised by how good this Adagio version is, especially when cool. Adding ¼ teaspoon of sweetener (to 10 oz) really sweetens the cup. Good tea! (5 mins @ 212ºF + sweetener).
This is a nice relaxing tea. Would recommend for anyone who needs to chill out.
Chamomille is not my thing but I couldn't get over how perfect the flowers were in the sample. Worth a try if you enjoy chamomile.
Chamomile has always been a staple in my tea cabinet. Wondrous in blends, as well. Sleep well..Dream Lucidly, Be Peaceful!
Chamomile tea has a light, soothing fragrance and taste. It’s a beautiful way to end the day.
I don't normally like chamomile and don't ever buy it - but after I tried a small sample from the portion bag, I was stunned it tasted so sweet and completely different than any other chamomile. I actually ended up ordering a bunch more!
It’s a good chamomile with a honey like flavor and decent freshness
I don't love chamomile on its own, but I enjoy blending it with other teas. This is a lovely, high-quality chamomile. A great choice for anyone familiar with this beloved bedtime tea.
Can you ever really go wrong with chamomile? It's been loved for ages and it's always worth keeping in anyone's tea cabinet. The quality is very good here.
I sleep like a baby after a cup of this. Smells like a spring day and tastes fresh and delicious. Chamomile has such a wonderful smell and the little flowers are fun to see.
Love this chamomile and it is a staple in our house. Both my husband and I drink this at least once a week, sometimes mixing it with other teas to make our own blend.
This is the smoothest chamomile tea I have ever had. So good.
Another staple. A favorite that I like to keep on hand to enjoy late afternoon or before bed. Lovely flavor.
This is an excellent quality chamomile tea. Light yet not weak, a little bit sweet, and very relaxing -- exactly what one might hope for!
Chamomile tea is a humble powerful healer. She helps my nervous system calm down and that effects every part of my life. Thank you camomile healing myself and my family.
Exactly what you'd expect from the image, chamomile is an enjoyable tisane before sleeping if you want to watch your caffeine input. Decent quality though I did pick a few of the less desirable looking buds out before I steeped.
This is the best chamomile tea that my family and I have had to date. I have not enjoyed any chamomiles teas in the past, but I drink this happily.
I've never seen whole flower chamomile tea before in the 29 years I've been alive. It's the best I've ever had.
Better than some bagged chamomile teas I've tried in the past - tasty and very effective for inducing sleep! Just wish I could figure out the best timing to minimize contaminating toothpaste with this before bed.
Very strong flavor. Don't expect any powder, this is proper flower. Great for a nightly unwind. Best made with honey rather than sugar to avoid an overly sweet taste
'taste like sunshine' as ive read from others and i have to say its really accurate, this was one of the highlights of my purchases and its super cheap to get large amounts and to add to other teas!
Flowery aroma that filled the senses. Has a 'warmer' color to its flavor and very smooth and full. Calming tea before sleep.
Great relaxing tea with a wonderful fragrance. I mix in some lavender buds and some lemongrass, but even alone it has a nice soothing quality. It makes a flavorful bedtime tea, or you can drink it throughout the day for its anti-anxiety effects.
UPDATE: This is still nearly as fresh as when I first bought it (over a month ago). It has a sweet smell and is very relaxing.
Very strong chamomile! If you like it from regular stores you wi love this one!
Highly recommend this Chamomile tisane if you want something simple and want to relax. I steeped mine over 7 minutes, but herbals can be steeped for however long you prefer
Absolutely delightful chamomile - floral and mellow. I bought lots to experiment with different bedtime blends and I'm so glad I did. It's the perfect background to anything I add - lavender, valerian, lemongrass, etc.
Very relaxing tea. A good one to have at night to calm down and get ready for bed. Like a teacup full of sleeping pills!
Love the flavor profile. Reminds me of what I had growing up in Mexico. Earthy, floral, with notes of apple.
It's a joy to have such a high quality chamomile tea in the house. A pain to clean out of the tea infuser, but it comes with the territory. I'd take that if it meant I could have a hot smooth cup of chamomile.
I added this to a blend of butterfly pea flower and lavender for a night time tea. Definitely helps me to relax before bed.
This tea taste great and was soothing. I drank it right before I went to bed and it helped with my insomnia!
One of my favorites to add into other caffeine free teas and herbals for that relaxing effect.
Greatly helps my anxiety and to get settled down for sleep ❤️
Still the best remedy for insomnia! I really don’t love hoppy teas but it gets the job done. And it’s better than anything store-bought
Perfect to drink before bed. I usually mix with lemongrass and lavender. For stomach pain and cramps i mix with peppermint or spearmint
