Chamomile Flowers - FAQs
Answers to common questions about our dried chamomile flowers
Dried chamomile flowers for loose leaf chamomile tea, sourced from India and available in 250g, 500g and 1kg packs.
What is chamomile tea made from?
Chamomile tea is a herbal infusion made from the dried flower heads of the chamomile plant. This product is 100% Matricaria chamomilla, also called German chamomile (an older or alternative name for the same plant is Matricaria recutita). It is a food-grade dried flower for tea and blending, not a live plant, seeds, essential oil, lotion or tea bags.
Where can I buy loose leaf chamomile flowers in Australia?
You can buy them here in 250g, 500g or 1kg packs, shipped Australia-wide. We also supply naturopaths, cafes, health food stores and manufacturers, so if you need larger quantities or a wholesale account, get in touch with our team.
How do I make chamomile tea from dried flowers?
Add one teaspoon of dried flowers to an infuser or teapot, pour over 250ml of hot water and steep for 5-7 minutes. Strain and drink warm, with honey or lemon if you like, or chill it over ice.
What does chamomile tea taste like?
Our chamomile has a light floral aroma with a hint of sweetness. The flavour is mild and gentle, which is why it pairs easily with honey, lemon or a splash of milk.
Does chamomile tea have caffeine?
No. Chamomile is a flower, not a tea leaf from the Camellia sinensis plant, so a cup made from these flowers is naturally caffeine free.
Is chamomile tea good for sleep?
Chamomile is traditionally enjoyed as a calming drink in the evening, and many people include a warm cup in their wind-down routine. It is sold here as a food, and scientific research on its effects is still limited, so we can't make health claims. If you have concerns about sleep, speak with a healthcare professional.
Is chamomile tea safe during pregnancy, and are there side effects?
Herbal teas are not right for everyone. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or you take medication (including blood thinners), check with your doctor, midwife or pharmacist before drinking chamomile. Chamomile is in the daisy family (Asteraceae), so if you are sensitive to plants such as ragweed or daisies, ask a healthcare professional first. Keep dried herbs away from pets and ask a vet if you have questions.
What is the difference between German and Roman chamomile?
They are two different plants. German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is the one most commonly used for tea, and it is what you get here. Roman chamomile is Chamaemelum nobile, a different species that is not the product on this page.
Is this chamomile organic?
No, this page is for our conventional chamomile and it is not certified organic. If you are after certified organic chamomile, see our
Chamomile Organic page.
