The name ‘Chamomile’ comes from the Ancient Greek words kamai (earth) and melon (apple). It’s an apt description: these delicate flowers thrive in almost any soil and have a sweet apple-like scent. A close cousin of the daisy, Chamomile’s yellow flower heads and white petals follow the sun across the day. Once the flower heads are picked, they are kept whole and slowly dried to ensure the best possible flavour. The small golden blossoms are packed in, to curate Desi Grub Premium Pure Chamomile Tea.
