Did you know?
Chamomile was cherished in ancient Egypt as an offering to the gods and was also used to treat fevers. Its name comes from the Greek chamaimēlon, meaning “ground apple,” a reference to its sweet, apple-like aroma.
Brewing is more than preparation — it’s a pause. Notice the aroma, the warmth of the cup, and the first sip. Each blend is an invitation to slow down and be present.
