Description

Chamomile is an herbal infusion made entirely from Egyptian chamomile flowers, not a true tea, which is why it is naturally caffeine-free. The cup is soft and honeyed, floral with a whisper of apple, and it steeps to a bright, clear yellow.

We use the whole flower, petals and pollen both, so the body stays light and mellow from the first sip to the last. It is the cup we reach for when the day is winding down.

Briskness

Chamomile grows all over, in Europe and in Mexico, but I keep coming back to the Egyptian flowers for their sweetness. We use the whole flower rather than the cut-and-sifted dust most bags rely on, so the cup tastes rounder and cleaner.

This herbal tea has a more full bodied flavor than the Chamomile teas you get at the grocery store.

I actually will pair this with pieces of ginger or with a sachet of Decaf Hot Cinnamon Spice and a little honey.

Four Decades of Tradition

In 1983, John Harney set out to make tea an everyday luxury, hand-blending his first teas in the basement of his country inn in Salisbury, Connecticut.
Three generations later, we still follow his one rule: only buy and blend teas that make us smile. Today we blend more than 300 of them from a home base in Millerton, New York, where the third generation is adding blends of its own.

Where the Day Winds Down

People have steeped chamomile flowers for their gentle golden liquor across many cultures for a very long time. The plant grows well in Europe and Mexico, but we buy ours from Egypt, where the flowers carry a rounder, honeyed sweetness we could not find elsewhere. We use the whole flower, dark yellow petals and pollen alike, which is what gives the cup its soft body and its gentle apple note. Every batch steeps to the same bright, clear yellow we look for.

How to Enjoy It

Chamomile is gentle by nature, which is exactly the point. Here is how we brew it so the honey and apple notes come through clean.

Water

Start with fresh spring or filtered water. It's nearly everything in the cup, and even a tea this bold takes on whatever's in the tap.

Hot

With its black tea base, you'll want to use boiling water (212ºF). Steep 5 minutes so the honey and apple notes have room to come forward.

  • 1 sachet per 12 oz mug
  • 1 teabag per 8 oz cup
  • 1 teaspoon loose (2.5 g) per 8 oz cup

Iced

Brew it double strength, twice the tea for the same water, then pour straight over a tall glass of ice. The honeyed sweetness carries as it dilutes instead of thinning out to water.

Common questions

Does Chamomile have caffeine?
No. Chamomile is an herbal infusion made from flowers rather than tea leaves, so it is naturally caffeine-free.

What does Chamomile taste like?
Soft and honeyed, floral, with a very subtle apple note. The body is light and mellow, and the liquor pours a bright, clear yellow.

How do I brew Chamomile?
Use fully boiling water at 212 degrees and steep for 5 minutes. Chamomile is forgiving, so a longer steep deepens the flavor without turning it bitter.

Is Chamomile good with milk?
We usually take it plain or with a little honey, which suits its natural sweetness. Milk is not the traditional pairing here.

Loose leaf or sachets?
Both work well. Sachets are the easiest place to start, and loose leaf gives you more control over strength.

Can I drink Chamomile before bed?
It is naturally caffeine-free and has long been enjoyed as a wind-down cup at the end of the day, so it fits an evening ritual nicely.

Is there an organic version?
This Chamomile is not organic, but our Organic Lemon Balm Chamomile pairs organic chamomile with lemon balm if you are looking for one.
