A free sample from my last Harney & Sons order.
I honestly haven’t had many pure chamomile teas. My past experience with chamomile has always been some dusty, faint flavor that was not interesting in the slightest. I should have known that there were varying degrees of quality, like any other tea.
Compared to what I’ve had, this tastes so fresh. I taste notes of apple and flowers. There’s also something that reminds me of clean dried grass or fresh hay. It leaves me wondering what I’ve been missing all the years I’ve skipped chamomile because I’d had bad ones…
It’s annoying that chamomile isn’t listed under Flavors when filling this out… there have been a couple teas where I’ve wanted to list it recently.

I suggest flavors all the time – I’m not sure they ever get added. :(
Chamomile and apple are perfect together. I absolutely loved Celestial Seasonings Sweet Apple Chamomile, but clearly I was in the minority. I believe it’s long gone.
@Cameron B – I don’t think they’ve updated the Flavors list in years…
Stash has a cinnamon Apple chamomile though I’ve never tried it.
@Lexie Aleah Ooh, I wonder if they have that at my grocery store…
Stash’s Cinnamon Apple Chamomile is not a tea for hibi-haters, which I’ve found is pretty much 99% of all Steepster users. Since I’m in that rare 1% that likes it, I actually like that tea — in fact, it’s one of the few bagged grocery store teas I find I still enjoy. I sipped down what I had left it shortly after our fall weather hit. It’s a very “spiced cider” sort of tea. I don’t really like the taste of chamomile, but you don’t taste it at all in that particular tea.
Same about the flavor suggestions, Cameron… I just gave up adding suggestions when I realized that no one was ever adding them. The merge suggestions I posts have sat since July without being touched, too. The Steepster Gods just truly seem to not care about actually updating/doing much of anything…
Where I live we have wild chamomile growing everywhere, there’s nothing comparable to a good cup tea from freshly dried chamomile. Usually we also add fresh lavender and wild flower honey, makes for a delicious blend!
