Ingredients
100 % ChamomileBrew & Taste
How chamomile tastes is not easy to describe. It is simply chamomile. It has slightly noticable bitterness, but on the other hand it is deliciously aromatic. The infusion is pale yellow-green in color and has a distinctive herbal aroma.
Origins
You can find chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) all over Europe, but also in Asia, Australia and North America. It's basically certain you've seen it before. The yellow-white annual herb grows in roadside ditches, in infertile soils, at the edge of meadows or even in urban backyards.
If chamomile needs any introduction at all, it is one of the most important herbs used by the ancient Egyptians. It is said to have reminded them of the sun. Chamomile was also recommended by the Greek physician Dioscorides and appears in Indian Ayurveda and in old English encyclopaedias. Chamomile is recognized by its white leaves and yellow bud. It usually grows to 20-50cm, its stem is tall and richly branched. If you want to be sure that it really is a true chamomile, just tear the flower in half between your fingers. If it's hollow, it is a true chamomile. Otherwise, it is not chamomile, but a flower similar in appearance.
Chamomile flowers are picked from May to September, on dry days, before they begin to shrivel. The stems should be no longer than 2cm. Drying takes place in the shade, the temperature must not exceed 40⁰C. It is not recommended to turn it during drying, as it is very fragile.
Store it in a dry, dark place.
