Twinings Pure Camomile Tea


Twinings describe their pure camomile tea as a delicately aromatic infusion with relaxing properties. Camomile tea is part of their infusions range which means no artificial flavours, just the real thing. The teas in this range have been inspired with relaxation in mind. Twinings say that you'll find the mellow and soothing infusions are just right for when you feel like relaxing a little during the day or last thing at night.

Camomile fits in very well with this range then because it is used medically against sore stomachs, irritable bowel syndrome and as a gentle sleep aid.

Apparently, according to the packaging, it's the camomile pollen heads that are used in this tea that gives it its uniquely subtle taste with delicate floral hints and beautifully sunny colour. The taste to me is definitely a floral taste. I think that it sort of has a bit of a lavender smell to it and a taste like it too although it is not as strong as the smell. The aftertaste leaves you with a bit of a floral taste too but it is not sickly or weird in my opinion.

They are correct too in that this tea is very light. I generally steep mine for about 5 minutes, which is long for me as I do not like strong tea, but this still has a very light yellow colour to it. A refreshing taste is probably the best way to describe this tea. I tend to drink this in the evening when I want something to unwind with. This is the way Twinings recommend drinking it too. It's naturally caffeine free and has no added sugar so it's perfect before you go to sleep. It's also great as a healthy option too due to the fact that no sugar is added.

I would have to say that yes, I do find it quite relaxing and always feel refreshed and clear headed after drinking it which is nice. It's best to drink camomile tea without milk as I think adding milk would totally ruin the flavour.

A box comes with 20 bags inside it and costs £0.92. The box is yellow with a picture of camomile on the front which makes it very easy to spot. In my opinion a nice relaxing tea.
