Arby drank Egyptian Chamomile Eco Pyramid Teabag by Art of Tea

2956 tasting notes

Well, I’ve maybe found the elusive loose leaf chamomile that is as good as cheap bagged chamomile! It sounds like an odd quest, but it just seems so unusual to prefer grocery store bagged chamomile (I buy the 20 teabags for $2 at bulk barn) to the fresher high quality loose leaf version. Although some day I want to try fresh chamomile flowers fresh from the garden.

Anyway, this is a very flavourful chamomile with that classic “chamomile” dried flower taste I really like. As usual, there are notes of dust (in a good way), minerals, lemon, pollen, dried catnip, and dried herbs/dried flowers, and dried hay (in the best way!)

You really can’t get better than this in a pure chamomile tea.

Flavors: Dry Grass, Herbs, Lemon, Mineral

Preparation

Boiling 8 min or more 1 tsp 19 OZ / 550 ML

Bio

I am a biochem major hoping for a career in research genetics and evolutionary biology. I love science fiction and spend too much of my time reading comic books. I’m a passionate keeper of spiders, cacti, and exotic plants. I eat a vegan, plant-based diet for moral and environmental reasons (I mention this only because it is relevant to which flavoured teas I drink).

I drink mostly flavoured and low caffeine teas/tisanes, but I will try anything twice. As far as pure teas go, I gravitate towards whites, yellows, and jade oolongs. I’m always open for trades and sample sales/exchanges. Message me any time :)

My cupboard is mostly up to date. For a more comprehensive list, see my stash spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-HjWKR3um-xEnj6HC9vMvKXOAyj_bpW5u_2ixEC20-k/edit?usp=sharing
