If plain chamomile is the quiet one, this is the one wearing perfume: the same soft, apple-honey chamomile flowers with a thread of floral lavender running through. It brews a pale golden cup that tastes like a slow evening. Steep it hot after dinner, sweeten with a little honey if you like, or brew it strong and pour it over ice with lemon. The blend also infuses beautifully into warm cream or butter for shortbread, panna cotta, and scones.
Chamomile is the classic mild evening tea of German kitchens, and lavender is a signature of French baking and Provencal cooking, so the two together read as a floral, almost spa-like cup. Lavender is strong, and a heavy hand turns anything soapy, so this blend keeps it as a background note behind the honeyed chamomile. The same rule holds in the kitchen: a small amount perfumes a whole batch.
Two ingredients: chamomile flowers and culinary lavender. Caffeine-free, no sugar, no preservatives, and vegan. Packed fresh so the floral aroma stays bright.
Common Questions
How do I brew it?
Use one teaspoon per eight ounces of water. Heat fresh filtered water to around 200°F, pour it over the blend, and steep for three minutes for the best flavor. Use fresh leaves each time you brew. For iced tea, brew it double-strength and pour over ice with a slice of lemon.
Does it actually taste like lavender, or is it too floral?
It leans gentle. The chamomile is the base, soft and apple-sweet, and the lavender sits behind it as a light floral top note rather than a wall of perfume. If you want it even softer, steep it a touch shorter. If you want more lavender forward, steep the full three minutes.
Why does my cup taste bitter?
Heat is usually the reason. Chamomile scorched in fully boiling water turns grassy and sharp, so pour at around 200°F and hold the steep to three minutes. That keeps the floral sweetness intact instead of drawing out a dusty, hay-like edge.
How do I bake or cook with it?
Steep a spoonful of the blend into warm cream, milk, or melted butter, let it sit off the heat, then strain and use that infused liquid in shortbread, custards, or scones. Go light. A little lavender flavors a full batch, and too much reads soapy.
Does it have caffeine?
No. It is a caffeine-free blend of chamomile flowers and culinary lavender, with no black or green tea, so it suits a wind-down cup at the end of the day.
