Camomile Tea Bags

Camomile Tea is, perhaps, the most famous type of Herbal Tea. Made from the flowers of the Chamaemelum nobile plant, our very own Camomile Tea Bags offer you the chance to enjoy a cup of this delightfully refreshing beverage while in a hurry.

We all have hectic schedules these days – places to be, things to do – but with our Camomile Tea Bags, one can buy themselves just a few extra minutes relaxing instead of burdening oneself with brewing Loose Leaf Tea.

This infusion boasts distinct floral flavours and surprisingly defined fruity notes. In fact, the name “Chamomile” derives from the Greek word “Khamaimelon”, meaning “earth apple”, which refers to the unique taste of this remarkable brew.

Camomile Tea Origins and History

Camomile has been used for centuries in ritual, medicine, and daily life. In ancient Egypt, the flower was dedicated to the sun god Ra and used in offerings, cosmetics, and healing practices. Around 40 to 90 CE, Greek physician and botanist Dioscorides praised its soothing effects on the digestive and nervous systems. Shortly after, Pliny the Elder (23 to 79 CE) recorded its use for easing headaches and treating liver and kidney inflammation.

By the early medieval period, Anglo-Saxon herbalists recognised Camomile as one of the nine sacred herbs, alongside Nettle, Fennel, and Thyme. Today, the tradition continues with Camomile remaining a popular natural remedy, particularly as a calming tea to support rest and relaxation.
