Chamomile Tea with Honey
Chamomile tea, beloved for its calming properties among other benefits, becomes a decadent treat when paired with honey. Chamomile, with its gentle floral notes, is known for its ability to soothe nerves and promote relaxation*, making it an ideal beverage for unwinding. The addition of honey brings out the tea's floral notes while adding a smooth, comforting sweetness.

To make the most of the gorgeous floral notes honey brings out in chamomile, it is essential to choose a meticulously cultivated organic chamomile tea. We recommend Organic Egyptian Chamomile SuperHerb® Herbs of Origin Tea. The blossoms for this tea are grown on organic family farms in the Nile River Basin. The flowers there are gathered at the peak of their essential oil concentration, resulting in an intensely floral and buttery final cup of chamomile tea that pairs perfectly with Raw, Unfiltered Honey.
