One plant, and nothing else: Chamomilla is an infusion of wild chamomile flowers, with no flavouring or additives, which Mariage Frères presents in its range of natural artisan herbal infusions. The ingredients list fits into a single word, wild chamomile, and that is the whole promise of the product.

It is offered in a box of thirty round cotton muslin tea sachets, for a net weight of 60 g. The muslin, roomier than a paper sachet, leaves the flower heads space to open in the water and release their fragrance without crushing it. This is the format suited to an evening infusion, prepared cup by cup.

The liquor is golden and smooth. Beyond the expected floral note, the house finds fresh, airy accents reminiscent of white magnolia blossom, and a pleasant lingering aroma. The profile on our sheet adds a honeyed sweetness, which comes naturally with a good quality chamomile. No bitterness, provided the steeping time is respected.

Caffeine-free, it is drunk in the evening, after dinner, plain or with a drizzle of honey that extends its sweetness. It goes happily with a dry biscuit or a slice of gingerbread, and suits the whole household, from the youngest to the oldest, for whom an herbal infusion is first and foremost an end-of-day habit.

Allow one muslin sachet per 200 ml of water at 95 °C and six minutes of steeping, the time needed for the flower to give everything. Keep the box closed, in a dry place, away from spices and kitchen odours, which chamomile readily absorbs.
