Camomile & Lavender Sleepy Tea has the most wonderful, relaxing aroma and soothing, slightly fruity taste; ideal to enjoy as a caffeine-free night-time drink. The lavender is not overpowering but enhances the fruity flavour of chamomile with a light minty character. In our experience with development tastings, we particularly enjoyed drinking Camomile & Lavender herbal tea with a little honey.
