Chamomile in Tea – Mild, Floral & Versatile

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is one of Europe's best-known herbs and has been valued for centuries as an aromatic ingredient in infusions.

With its mild, slightly sweet and floral aroma, chamomile is a popular base for numerous tea blends. It brings a gentle note to the cup and blends beautifully with other herbs and fruits.

Origin and tradition

True chamomile originally comes from Southern Europe and Western Asia and is now grown worldwide. Its characteristic flowers are gently dried to preserve their delicate aroma.

Taste and character

• Mild: pleasantly soft in taste
• Floral: with a subtle sweetness

Chamomile is often enjoyed on its own or combined with mint, lavender or citrus notes.

Natural ingredients

Chamomile flowers contain, among other things:

• essential oils
• plant compounds such as flavonoids
• natural aroma components

These components contribute to the characteristic scent and flavour.

Note: Chamomile is a food ingredient, not a medicinal product.

Popular combinations

• Chamomile & mint – fresh and harmonious

• Chamomile & honey notes – gently rounded off

Preparing chamomile tea

• Amount: 1–2 tsp dried flowers per 250 ml

For a particularly intense aroma, the flowers can be lightly crushed.
