Chamomile has been prized as a healing herb for over four thousand years. The ancient Egyptians dedicated it to the sun god Ra and used it to treat fevers and inflammation; the Greeks and Romans valued it so highly they incorporated it into medicine, food, and ritual. Its name comes from the Greek for 'ground apple' — a nod to the sweet, faintly fruity scent that rises from the flower. Lemongrass, native to South and Southeast Asia, has its own long history in traditional herbal medicine, valued for its bright, citrus character and its gentle, settling effect on the digestive system. Together, these two botanicals make one of the most naturally balanced herbal infusions you can find — and this loose leaf chamomile and lemongrass blend captures that harmony beautifully.

The chamomile flowers bring the blend its soft, floral sweetness and that gently calming depth that has made chamomile tea one of the world's most popular herbal teas. The lemongrass adds a lively lift — a clean, zesty brightness that keeps the cup feeling fresh rather than heavy. Apple pieces round everything out with a mild fruity sweetness that ties the blend together and gives the liquor a satisfying smoothness. The result is a herbal infusion that is easy to love: gentle enough for evenings, refreshing enough for the middle of the day, and versatile enough to enjoy both hot and cold.

Because it contains no tea leaves at all, this is a completely caffeine free infusion. There is nothing here to disturb a quiet evening or a settled mind — just clean, aromatic flavour from three simple, natural ingredients.

Since 2008, High Teas London has been one of the country's leading independent tea specialists. With over 350 teas and infusions — one of the largest collections in the country — we have always believed that a great herbal blend deserves the same care and attention as any fine single-origin tea. This chamomile and lemongrass infusion is a perfect example of what a thoughtfully selected loose leaf herbal tea can be.

Ingredients: Chamomile flowers, lemongrass, apple pieces.

Brewing Note: Use fully boiling water and allow this infusion to steep for 5 to 7 minutes — chamomile and lemongrass both open slowly, and a slightly longer steep brings out the best of both. The liquor should turn a clear, warm golden yellow. There is no bitterness to worry about with these ingredients, so if you prefer a stronger flavour, simply extend the steeping time rather than adding more leaf. This blend also makes an excellent cold infusion: brew as normal, allow to cool, then refrigerate for a few hours and serve over ice. A small spoonful of honey complements the natural sweetness of the chamomile particularly well.
