Twinings Camomile and Honey, 20 Tea Bags 30g
The sweetest of the plain camomiles: no spice, chicory or rooibos, just honeyed camomile rounded with vanilla into a creamy, dessert like cup. Where Sweet Dreams stays clean and bright with limeflower, this one goes soft and comforting, the one to choose if you find ordinary camomile too thin or hay-like. The packaging promises more than a cup of tea can deliver, and I will not pretend otherwise. Judged simply as a smooth, sweet, caffeine-free evening comfort cup, though, it does that very well.
Twinings Camomile and Honey, in brief.
Twinings Camomile and Honey is a caffeine-free herbal infusion built on camomile flowers with natural honey flavouring, picked into the teas.co.uk curator selection as the gently sweetened alternative to a plain Pure Camomile cup.
The camomile does the soft floral structural work, giving the cup its familiar pale-gold colour and gentle honeyed character, while the natural honey flavouring sits on top as the sweetened lead, deepening the inherent honey note camomile already carries and making the cup more drinkable for anyone who finds a plain camomile too austere.
A high-street sweetened camomile at an accessible price, the pyramid format giving the flowers room to open properly and the cup reading clean.

The Story Behind the Twinings
At 216 Strand, London, Thomas Twining founded Twinings in 1706, and the original shop is still open there as the world's oldest continuously operating tea shop. The family business stayed with the Twinings for nine generations, and today Stephen Twining is the company's ambassador. Twinings received a Royal Warrant from Queen Victoria in 1837 and is still a supplier of tea to the UK Royal Household.

The Barista Hot Serve Brewing Guide
-
Measure: Use one individual camomile tea bag per cup, approximately 200ml to 250ml.
-
Pour: Use freshly boiled water. Let it settle for 30 seconds before pouring to avoid scalding the delicate blossoms.
-
Steep: Infuse for at least 3 minutes for a light floral cup; leave for up to 5 minutes if you prefer a deeper, more syrupy sweetness to act as a potent bedtime brew.
-
Herbalist Tip: Cover your mug while steeping. This traps the steam and volatile oils for maximum flavour and aromatherapy benefits.
The Sunset Iced Infusion Brewing Guide
-
Brew 2 bags for 5 minutes using 200ml of hot water, which gives you a strong amber concentrate.
-
Lift the bags out and let the amber liquid cool all the way.
-
Pour over a tall glass of ice and top with a squeeze of fresh lemon for a refreshing summer cooler that acts as a hydrating caffeine free iced tea.
The Sleepy Moon Milk Latte Brewing Guide
-
Why Try It: This method amplifies the natural vanilla and honey notes, turning your tea into a rich, dessert like nightcap often called "Moon Milk."
-
The Concentrate: Steep 2 bags in just 100ml of boiling water for 5 minutes. You need a strong base so the milk doesn't water it down.
-
The Milk: Gently heat and froth 150ml of your favourite plant based milk. We highly recommend coconut milk or oat milk because their creamy texture goes so well with the floral camomile.
-
The Combine: Pour the concentrated tea into a mug and top with the frothed milk. Dust with a pinch of cinnamon for the ultimate camomile latte experience.

Brewing the perfect cup
To make the most of every cup of twinings camomile tea, patience is key. When you make a sleep tea cup in the evening or a cooling summer drink, correct preparation brings out the camomile flower heads at their best. The delicate flower heads need gentle heat to release their apigenin without destroying the subtle vanilla notes.
