Information
Caution: This grade is very strong, so use a quarter level teaspoon or less per cup.
There are several varieties and countries of origin of Chamomila - sometimes referred to as bachelor buttons because of the shape of the flower heads - but the best quality comes from Egypt. The sandy loam and nutrients from the Nile create perfect growing conditions. Chamomile flowers have a yellow floret center and white petals - they almost look like a daisy. Essential oils in the flowers produce a soothing pleasant aroma and a fruity character. In some parts of Europe, particularly southern France, chamomile plants have been strewn on floors or pathways to give the area a good scent.
Chamomile can be made into a pleasant aromatic tea which is slightly bitter but with a fruity flavour. It is often sipped for relief of health problems ranging from toothache to nervousness. Chamomile has also been noted as beneficial for soothing headaches and is a natural relaxing herb known to assist the restless and those suffering from insomnia. In many circles Chamomile is called nighty night tea or sleepy tea on account of its natural properties, which promote restfulness and drowsiness. It is also known to assist digestive disorders by settling the stomach and calming the nerves. The plants botanical name Matricaria, is derived from the Latin term for womb because it was once used as an herb to treat female troubles. Camomile is derived from ancient Greek and translates as Ground Apple in reference to the fruity aroma.
Like many teas and herbs camomile should be consumed without the addition of milk but this does not preclude additives such as honey, lime, lemon, cinnamon, ginger, hibiscus etc. One of the fun things to do with a widely used consumer herb like camomile is to make your own blend. Try chamomile with peppermint or spearmint and call it Camo-mint Soothing Sleeper - chamomile provides the sleepy portion of your blend and the mint provides the soothing part (mint is known to soothe upset stomachs). Or what about Orange Dreams - combine camomile with orange peel. The possibilities are endless - the main thing is - experiment, and have fun with tea.

Hot Brewing Method
Use just one quarter of a level teaspoon of this fine camomile per one cup of water and place this into your teapot or ideally a tea filter. Pour boiling water into pot and let it steep covered for 5-7 minutes. Strain as you pour into your cup and savour one of natures best offerings!
Warning: This fine powder will go through or clog many tea infusers and strainers, so paper filters are recommended.
