Teas & Herbal Infusions

If you had to choose just one plant for your infusions range, it would certainly be chamomile matricaria. Pure or blended, it delights the taste buds with its very sweet flavour. As a health infusion, it promotes sleep and drowsiness, but it is also found in bulk compositions to sublimate blends with its pretty flower heads.

 

 

Applications

 

It is estimated that over one million cups of chamomile are drunk every day in the world. This plant is indeed very appreciated for its particularly sweet flavour but also for its numerous benefits.
