What does chamomile tea taste like?

Our Just Chamomile blend contains one ingredient – high-grade plump Egyptian chamomile blossoms selected for their intensely honey-like aroma and refined, soothing flavour.

Can chamomile tea improve sleep?

Folklore says ancient Egyptians used chamomile tea to treat nervous tension, Mediaeval Europeans used chamomile salve on dry skin, and the Aztec civilization of Mexico used the plant as a cure-all remedy for centuries. It's clear many swear by its soothing effects, and some evidence can back this up. However, most studies note there is a need for more research to have conclusive results.
