Rich in phytochemicals the fruit has also been shown to help prevent chronic health conditions including cancer and heart disease. Its flavonoids provide an anti-oxidant effect.

History

Dating back to the ancient Egyptians, Chamomile, or also called Anthemis nobilis is one of oldest and most famous medicinal herbs. The Egyptians used Chamomile to treat malaria and fevers and made offerings to the sun god. During the Middle Ages, the Anglo-Saxons considered it one of the nine sacred herbs. Well know for it’s distinctive apple-like flavour and aroma, Chamomile derives from the Greek word "kamai" meaning "on the ground" and "melon" (apple) for ground apple.

Use

Chamomile is traditionally drunk by many to soothe the body and mind before bed time. However, we recommend serving our Chamomile Citrus as a refreshing herbal infusion to calm and focus the senses before the work day begins.
As an alternative, try it on ice during the summer to refresh and revive. Also, makes an excellent after-dinner digestive. Pair the infusion with light foods and complementary flavours like cookies or fruit flavoured item such as lemon or orange.
