Twinings Organic Pure Chamomile, 20 Tea Bags 30g
This is the organic sibling of plain Pure Camomile and tastes a little different: German chamomile, with a clearer apple note and a touch more earthy, hay like body beside the nectar sweet flower, and almost no bitterness because only the flower heads are used. If organic certification matters to you, that and the slightly deeper character are what you are paying the premium for; if it does not, the non-organic Pure Camomile is the same quality of leaf. It is caffeine free, and as a plain camomile it is excellent.
Twinings Organic Pure Chamomile, in brief.
Twinings Organic Pure Chamomile is the certified-organic single-ingredient camomile flower bag from Twinings, picked into the teas.co.uk curator selection as the organic-certified alternative to the standard Pure Camomile, the same single-flower recipe but with the leaf grown to organic standard and the box carrying the Soil Association mark.
The camomile flower does all the work in the cup, giving the familiar pale-gold liquor, the gentle honeyed-floral character and the clean herbal finish that defines a proper camomile. No added flavourings, no fruit, no spice, just the flower, the right way to drink camomile if you want the proper aromatic structure rather than a sweetened blend or a citrus-tisane.
A high-street organic camomile at an accessible price, the small premium over the standard Pure Camomile box worth paying for anyone buying organic-certified across the rest of their kitchen, the cup itself reading identical to the standard sibling.
Twinings Organic Pure Chamomile is a plain organic chamomile for people who want one ingredient in the cup and nothing more. Some herbal bags taste flat, but this organic one carries the smell and sweetness of flowers in a summer meadow. Twinings selects only the pollen rich flower heads, which are gently steamed to preserve their structural integrity and essential oils.
It suits anyone who sees the evening cup as a break from the digital world. Whether used as a sleep aid or a gentle digestive settler, this organic infusion pours a bright golden cup that looks as good as it tastes.

The Story Behind the Twinings
This chamomile comes from Twinings, which Thomas Twining founded in 1706 at number 216 on London's Strand; the shop he opened is still there, and no tea shop in the world has traded longer without a break. Family members ran Twinings for nine generations, and the present ambassador is Stephen Twining. Queen Victoria gave the firm behind this organic chamomile its Royal Warrant in 1837, and it supplies tea to the UK Royal Household to this day.
Our Commitment To The Planet
Twinings states a goal of sustainable tea production, so each cup of this chamomile is meant to respect the environment and the heritage of growers worldwide.
