I’ve had a rough past couple of weeks. I left everything that was familiar in search of new adventures and better life choices. It looks like I’ll be another month out until things start to become routine. Before I left my original residence, I bought two tins of tea from David’s. One is their earl grey, while the other was this Egyptian Chamomile. I’m glad I was able to throw them in my suitcase for a good cup of tea wherever I went.
A cup of Egyptian Chamomile has accompanied me on my bedtime de-stress routine. It’s lovely because it’s caffeine free, and has more flavour than the bagged stuff. All the same— I think I could double up the recommended teaspoons and have a much more flavourful cup. Yes, chamomile is a love-it-or-leave-it kind of tea. It does taste like grass and hay, and it doesn’t have much of a flavour profile.
When I drink chamomile, I am reminded of my childhood when I drank it to cure the sniffles or feel warmth on a cold night. I guess this is why I go back to it again and again. It’s not that I particularly enjoy the taste— but the wonderfulness of routine and reminders of good times gone by is what keeps me coming back.
Flavors: Floral, Grass, Hay, Straw
