Last reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in April 2026.

Twinings Camomile and Honey adds honey character to standard chamomile flower, naturally sweet, comforting, deliberately evening friendly. The British supermarket equivalent of the premium Teapigs Chamomile and Manuka Honey, at one third the per bag price. The reliable bedtime ritual tea you keep in the kitchen drawer for when you need a hot drink with sleep cues without the faff. Honey is added as flavouring not real honey solids in most batches; check the box if vegan.

The blend

Chamomile flower (the calming base), natural honey flavouring, occasionally honey granules or honey flavoured crystals depending on batch. The cup is gently sweet without added sugar; the natural sweetness of chamomile combined with the honey flavouring is enough.

How it tastes

Floral chamomile with a soft honey sweet front, no added sugar tang, gentle and comforting. Less complex than a real honey and chamomile combination but more reliable (real honey settles unpredictably and varies by batch). Drinkers who like to add honey to their tea anyway can skip this product and just buy plain chamomile. Curator Rating: 4.9/5.

1 bag in 200ml just boiled water.
Cover the cup; chamomile aromatics escape if uncovered.
Steep 5-7 minutes.
Drink black; you do not need extra honey.
For amplified soothing during a sore throat, add a real teaspoon of Manuka or local honey on top of the bag's flavouring.

Check the pack. Most batches use honey flavouring (vegan suitable); some include real honey granules (not vegan). The flavouring is more common but varies by year and supermarket.

FAQ

Caffeine? 0mg.

Vegan? Check pack for honey solids vs honey flavouring.

Pregnancy? Safe in moderation.

Best for sleep? Gentle bedtime support; for stronger effect try a valerian led blend.

Premium alternative? Teapigs Chamomile and Manuka Honey (real Manuka honey solids, premium pricing).

Suitable for children? Over 12 months yes, the honey flavouring is not real honey so the under-1 honey safety rule does not apply if it's flavour only.

Pregnancy

Pregnancy safety varies by ingredients. Plain chamomile blends are generally safe; valerian, lavender, ashwagandha, licorice variants need caution or avoidance. Always check ingredient lists or consult GP if pregnant.

Curator's note: Twinings Camomile and Honey is the mainstream sweet bedtime chamomile. Reliable; affordable. Lee, Teas.co.uk, Tunbridge Wells.
