Day 7 of the home made advent calender continues with a sachet of Camomile/Chamomile from the Empress. Now that the Empress Hotel has been renamed Fairmont Empress, they have switched their teas to a new brand they call “Lot 35”. I don’t know if this is just for all Fairmont hotels in Canada or just at the Empress (I thought the Empress had its own brand, but maybe not?). Anyway, I have a few free sachets to try and decided today was the day for this one.
It is your typical chamomile. The red corn flower petals and amaranth petals are beautiful, but do not add a flavour. This chamomile isn’t too vegetal or extreme (overpoweringly lemony or all hay flavoured) and retains a nice balance in flavour.
Flavors: Citrus, Hay, Herbs
