Twinings Pure Camomile, 20 Tea Bags 30g
The plain benchmark, and its real virtue is what is left out: only the flower heads and petals, none of the stalks and stems that pad out cheap camomile, which is why the cup is clear, golden and properly sweet rather than thin and hay-like. No vanilla, honey or limeflower dressing it up, just good camomile done straight. The box talks about switching off and resting, which is habit rather than pharmacology; bought as a clean, straightforward, caffeine free everyday camomile, it is the one to measure the others against.
Twinings Pure Camomile, in brief.
Twinings Pure Camomile, 20 Tea Bags 30g is an infusion of camomile, with no tea leaf listed in its current ingredients.
Caffeine: Pure Camomile is naturally free of caffeine: it is an infusion, and the current pack ingredients name no tea leaf of any kind, whether black, green, white or oolong. No milligram figure is inferred. See our caffeine guide which sets out what separates tea leaf, decaf tea and herbal infusions.
Twinings Pure Camomile is exactly what the name says, a single-ingredient pure camomile flower infusion, picked into the teas.co.uk curator selection as the no-frills baseline against which every flavoured camomile blend is judged, the unflavoured plain cup against which Twinings Camomile and Orange, Camomile and Honey and the various Superblends camomile recipes can be measured.
The camomile flower does all the work, giving the cup its pale-gold colour, the familiar gentle honeyed-floral character and a clean herbal finish. 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 fruit-citrus tisane.
A high-street pure camomile at an accessible price, the pyramid format giving the flowers room to open properly during the brew. The cup takes a slice of fresh lemon or a teaspoon of honey beautifully if the plain camomile feels too austere, a versatile store-cupboard herbal.
Twinings Pure Camomile exists as a functional upgrade for the tea drinker who wants a reliable, consistent path to relaxation. While many herbal teas are blends of various leaves, this is a celebration of a single, powerful flower. Twinings selects only the central yellow pollen heads and white petals, avoiding the stalks and stems that bulk out cheaper brands. This results in a liquor that is clear, golden, and profoundly sweet.

The Story Behind the Twinings
Thomas Twining opened his shop at 216 Strand, London, in 1706 and founded Twinings; the same shop still serves customers there, the oldest tea shop in the world that has never closed down. Nine generations of Twinings ran the business, and today Stephen Twining acts as ambassador. The Royal Warrant dates from 1837, when Queen Victoria granted it to Twinings; the company supplies the UK Royal Household with tea to this day.
