UChamomile tea is a herbal infusion made from dried flowers of the chamomile plant — which belongs to the Asteraceae family. The flowering plant has dreamy white petals and a mustard-yellow centre, resembling a daisy. There are two main types of chamomile used for tea: German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) and Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile).
It’s typically prepared by carefully drying chamomile flowers in hot water for several minutes. The resulting brew is 100% caffeine-free and has a mild, soothing flavour with a slightly sweet and floral aftertaste.
