Health Benefits
Chamomile offers numerous health benefits. It soothes headaches and promotes relaxation, making it suitable for those struggling with insomnia. People often call it “nighty night tea” or “sleepy tea” because it naturally encourages restful sleep. Chamomile also helps reduce anxiety and tension, allowing you to embrace a more peaceful state of mind.
Additionally, chamomile supports digestive health by settling the stomach and calming nerves, which helps after a heavy meal. The plant’s botanical name, Matricaria, comes from a Latin term for “womb,” reflecting its historical use for female ailments. Many cultures have relied on chamomile for centuries, passing down its soothing properties through generations.
Serving Suggestions
To enjoy the best experience, savor chamomile tea without milk. You can enhance its flavor with natural additives like honey, lime, lemon, or cinnamon. Each of these complements the floral notes, allowing you to create a personalized blend that suits your taste.

HOT BREWING METHOD:
Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Place 1 slightly heaping teaspoon of loose tea for each 7-9oz / 200-260ml of fluid volume in the teapot. Pour the boiling water into the teapot. Cover and let steep for 1-3 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Milk (hibiscus will curdle milk) and sugar are not recommended. Ideal Brewing Temperature: 90ºC/194ºF or higher.
ICED TEA BREWING METHOD
(Pitcher): (to make 1 liter/quart): Place 12 slightly heaping teaspoons of herbal tea into a teapot or heat resistant pitcher. Using filtered or freshly drawn cold water, boil and pour 1¼ cups/315ml over the herbal tea. Steep for 5-10 minutes. Quarter fill a serving pitcher with cold water. Pour the tea into your serving pitcher, straining the tea. Add ice and top-up the pitcher with cold water. Garnish and sweeten to taste. A rule of thumb when preparing freshly brewed iced herb & fruit tea is to increase the strength of hot brew since it will be poured over ice and diluted with cold water.
We strongly recommend using filtered or freshly drawn cold water brought to a rolling boil when brewing all types of tea. Today’s water has been known to carry viruses, parasites and bacteria. Boiling the water will kill these elements and reduce the potential incidence of water-borne illnesses.
