Chamomile Herbal Tea

Description

🌼 Herbal☕ Caffeine-Free🌙 Evening Cup🌿 Whole Flower

The classic evening cup — whole chamomile flowers, gently sweet, the colour of pale honey.

Chamomile is one of the oldest herbal teas in the world. Sampson’s blend uses whole, hand-sized flower heads rather than the broken petals you’ll often find in supermarket bags — it’s the difference between a brew that tastes like fresh meadow honey and one that tastes like dust. Pour hot water over the flowers and the cup turns pale gold, with a soft apple-pastry aroma that fills the kitchen.

Naturally caffeine-free, traditionally drunk in the evening, gentle enough for any time of day. The flavour is delicate — give it a full five minutes to bloom and you’ll find a soft apple sweetness underneath the floral top notes. No tea bag aftertaste, no bitterness if you forget the timer.

Tasting Notes

🌼

Apple-Honey

Aroma

The smell of warm orchard fruit and meadow honey. Gentle, slightly powdery, never sharp — the unmistakable scent of whole chamomile flowers steeping.

🍯

Soft Sweetness

Body

Light-bodied and naturally sweet — no sugar required. The brew is the colour of pale honey and tastes like the calm, golden version of one.

✨

Clean Finish

Aftertaste

Smooth, slightly floral, no bitterness even after a long steep. The cup ends quietly — no aftertaste, no dryness.

How to Brew

01

Measure

One heaped teaspoon (about 2g of whole flowers) per 8oz cup. Chamomile flowers are light — don’t under-fill the spoon.

02

Heat the Water

Bring water to a full boil — 100°C / 212°F. Herbal infusions need higher heat than tea leaves to fully release their flavour.

03

Steep 5–7 Minutes

Cover the cup if you can — chamomile’s aromatic compounds are volatile and a lid keeps them in the brew. Five minutes for a softer cup, seven for a fuller one.

Water

100°C

Time

5–7 min

Per Cup

1 tsp

Add a thin slice of fresh ginger or a teaspoon of honey for the cosier version. Equally good iced — cold-brew the flowers in the fridge overnight for a clear, gently sweet infusion.

About the Tea

🌼

Egyptian Chamomile

The Flower

Whole flower heads grown along the Nile valley, where the climate produces a higher concentration of the aromatic oils that give chamomile its distinct apple-honey character. Picked, dried, sieved for stem and dust.

✨

Nothing Else

The Purity

One ingredient. No flavours, no fillers, no « blend of botanicals » padding the bag. Single-origin chamomile is more expensive to buy and worth every cent of the difference.

🌿

Whole-Flower Grade

The Cut

You can see the difference: golden centres, intact petals, almost no broken pieces in the tin. Whole flowers extract more slowly and more cleanly — less bitterness, more flavour.

In the tin

Whole chamomile flowers.

Origin & Sourcing

Single-origin chamomile from Egypt — the source most prized for its concentrated apple-honey aroma. Hand-sieved into the whole-flower grade, then blended in small batches for the Sampson shelf. Caffeine-free, naturally gluten-free, nothing added.
