Twinings Calm is a chamomile based wellness blend with vanilla and warming spice notes, gentler than dedicated sleep blends, sweeter than pure chamomile. Mid day calming or evening wind down without committing to a full sleep tea. The vanilla character makes it accessible to drinkers who find pure chamomile too austere; the cinnamon adds a mild thermogenic warmth that suits autumn and winter drinking.

The vanilla and spice layer is what differentiates Calm from Twinings' plain chamomile blends; same chamomile core, more flavour interest. How it tastes Source: Teas.co.uk.

More like a comforting pudding flavoured tea than a clinical sleep aid, which is the point. Drinkers who add vanilla and a sprinkle of cinnamon to their bedtime drink anyway can skip this and use a plain chamomile with home additions. Curator Rating: 4.9/5. How to brew Source: Teas.co.uk.
