Advantages: Relaxing but not soporific

Disadvantages: A little expensive

I drink these occasionally at work when they come with the hot beverages ordered for meetings.

The flavour is best described as light but pleasant, but for those wanting something more than the traditionally delicate flavour of camomile tea, I recommend leaving the bag in for at least three minutes to allow a fuller flavour to infuse.

The drink is long and smooth rather than sharp and distinctive - very mellow and easy to drink. But, it's fair to say that the overall effect is powerfully relaxing and packs more of a punch than the innocuous looking packaging would imply: the overriding effect of the drink is stabilising and refreshing.

In other forms (selection packs etc.) Twinings Camomile herbal infusions are branded as a "moment of calm". I can certainly testify as to that - this herbal infusion is ideal to drink before (or after!) a stressful meeting or when working to a demanding deadline, and the lack of caffeine (which can be debilitating in excessive quantities) makes it even more so.

Summary: Everyone should have a box of these on standby!
