1.5 oz dried Chamomile (Matericaria recutita) arial parts

The miles of chamomile displayed at the harvest-time of this particularly well-loved herb are enough to take your breath away. Its contemplative countenance fills every cup of tea with the sunshine that raised it and the loving hands who plucked it. But chamomile’s no sap: an optimist, she nonetheless has a bit of a bitter bite (especially the longer she’s steeped). And like every good matriarch, matricaria presides over family affairs with flavors firm and funny both.

As for the dirt on why, how, and when to use this herb, it’s up to you to hit the books / browsers and do a little sleuthing of your own. We’ll be here for you if you need a hand – or an herb – to hold.

All of our farm direct herbs are certified USDA organic and sourced from one of the three herbal farms we work with on the East coast located in either Vermont, Pennsylvania or North Carolina.
