Imagine this: You just SLAYED your day. That to-do list? Completed. That load of laundry? You folded it and put it away. You even achieved the impossible: inbox zero. Damn, you’re good. And now it’s time to sit back and bask in the splendor of your awesomeness.
But wait, what is this feeling you’re feeling? For some reason, it’s a little difficult to wind down after hustling like you do. Don’t fret, though. Just brew up some of our chamomile tea. Among chamomile tea benefits is that it’s a well-known tea that helps you sleep. So if you’re in need of some chillaxin’, choose the best chamomile tea around. You deserve it.
In classic Stash Tea fashion, we sourced the finest chamomile just for you. We had to travel 7,226 miles to Egypt to bring you this level of quality. The perfect climate and centuries of cultivation make Egypt the absolute best producers of chamomile. Egyptian chamomile has the largest, brightest flowers with the most fragrance and, of course, flavor.
In short, this is a classic ‘treat yo’self’ tea. You can’t pour from an empty tea cup. Make sure you refill yours.

Have: Headache.
Will swap for: New supply of Orange Puerh from Nothing But Tea
This is a backlog from a few days ago, actually. Not the headache, but the following. I received this bag from Fleurdelily and it’s been hanging around since then, because I don’t actually care much for chamomile at all, really. We do keep a blend around with chamomile and licorice root, but that’s purely for therapeutic reasons. It tastes vile, but it’s wonderfully soothing when one is ill.
So that’s why I had my trepidations about this one. Part of me thought I ought to wait until next time I got ill, because if chamomile is the sort of thing to drink under such circumstances, then surely I couldn’t give it a proper go if I was feeling well.
But then the other day as I was doing something or other in the bathroom, I just suddenly had this chamomile craving. It was like I could actually smell it. The time was right, I reckoned. Besides, I had just had a couple of days of feeling generally wonky, so my terms of unwellness were met too.
I made me a cup and took it with me to bed to read. I’ve done that a lot, lately, actually. Gone to bed early with a cup to read before bedtime. I was expecting to be able to drink maybe half because of the inherent vileness of chamomile, but I actually ended up drinking the whole thing.
The aforementioned vile concoction is loose leaf, whereas this one is bagged, and believe that is what made the difference. The bag just gave a milder sort of chamomile flavour than the loose stuff, probably for the very same mechanisms that loose is otherwise generally preferable over bags. In the particular case, however, the opposite worked to my advantage.
Yeah, I think I’ll drink the other bag I was given as well, although I will wait to see if I get that craving again, because that was definitely also a large factor in my experience here. Without it, I don’t know that this would have worked for me as relatively well as it did.
Meh, this smells nice enough but it makes a pretty whimpy-tasting chamomile tea. Ah well, this is mostly just to help me relax and get to sleep (because god knows I need to stop staying up until 3am) so if it helps I might up the rating a bit tomorrow.
Stash’s organic chamomile actually has a taste — according to my finicky palate, anyway. Sometimes you can find Stash organic variety boxes, so you don’t have to commit to a whole box. Hope this helps.
Honestly? This is one herb that I think I’d prefer to grow myself rather than spend the money on the tea.
Next spring. :)
Well, I don’t know how your taste buds compare to mine, but this is what my taste buds are telling me. Whether or not my taste buds are honest is anyone’s guess.
A polygraph test for your taste buds? ;)
I like to add flavoring syrups and milk to my bagged chamomile tea, and this one works as well for that as any! Plain, it was a bit flatter than some alternatives, but dressed up, it’s decent enough both warm and cold. It definitely didn’t taste high quality or flavorful without the help.
Love it: “the inherent vileness of chamomile”… I so hear you. And I keep trying to like it.
When I was younger I would actually drink chamomile for pleasure. I liked it then, and totally didn’t understand most people’s ‘only when ill’ attitude. I thought it was really nice with a bit of liquid honey as well. Then… I don’t know when or how it happened. My tongue just completely turned around on chamomile. Now I can barely stand the stuff. It’s a bit of a shame, really. It feels a bit like I’ve lost something.
