Chamomile on its own is already pretty hard to beat as an evening tea. This blend takes it further. Honey Vanilla Chamomile Tea layers in smooth vanilla, a light honey-like sweetness, and a mix of botanicals: honeybush, lemongrass, licorice root, toasted coconut, and bee pollen that make the cup feel fuller and more intriguing than your average floral herbal.
It's an entirely herbal blend, so you can drink it at 9 pm without thinking twice. Some people use it for drinking before going to bed. Others reach for it mid-afternoon when they want something warm that isn't coffee. Either way, it doesn't ask much of you; just steep, strain, and settle in.
