Quiet time tea

Chamomile & Lavender Herbal Blend

Quiet Time Tea is a blend of four organic botanicals — chamomile, lavender, lemongrass, and green tea — combined for their complementary flavors and aromas. Floral and citrus-bright with a gentle earthy finish, it is a tea built for slow moments and deliberate brewing.

Ingredients

Chamomile*, Lavender*, Lemongrass*, Green Tea* (All Organic)

The Ingredients

Chamomile — Derived from the dried flowers of Matricaria chamomilla or Chamaemelum nobile, chamomile is one of the oldest and most widely used botanicals in herbal tea traditions across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Its flavor is distinctively floral with a faint apple-like sweetness — mild enough to serve as the base of a blend and aromatic enough to define it. Chamomile tisanes appear in culinary and herbal traditions from Ancient Egypt through modern European herbalism.

Lavender — Culinary lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is a staple of Provençal French cooking and Mediterranean herb traditions. In tea form, it contributes a distinctly floral, slightly perfumed note that pairs naturally with chamomile's softness. Lavender is used in both sweet and savory culinary applications — in teas, baked goods, honeys, and infused syrups — across France, Italy, and the broader Mediterranean region.

Lemongrass — A tall grass (Cymbopogon citratus) native to South and Southeast Asia, lemongrass is a foundational culinary ingredient in Thai, Vietnamese, and South Indian cooking. In tea form, the dried stalks and leaves contribute a bright, citrus-forward flavor — clean and slightly grassy, with more freshness than sourness. Lemongrass appears in herbal tea blends across South Asia, the Caribbean, and Africa, and is one of the most widely consumed herbal tea ingredients in the world.

Green Tea — A small amount of organic green tea provides a light, grounding base and contributes to the blend's body. Note: this blend contains green tea and is therefore not caffeine-free. The green tea component is a minor part of the blend; caffeine content per cup will be low but not absent.

Flavor Profile

Quiet Time Tea opens with chamomile's apple-floral notes, layered with lavender's botanical perfume. Lemongrass adds a citrus brightness that lifts the blend and keeps it from reading as heavy or overly sweet. The green tea base provides a quiet backbone. The overall character is light, floral, and slightly herbaceous — a blend that rewards slow sipping.

How to Brew

• Water temperature: 85–90°C / 185–195°F — just below boiling. Boiling water can mute the floral notes in chamomile and lavender.
• Amount: 1–2 teaspoons (2–3g) per cup
• Steep time: 5–7 minutes for a full flavor expression; 3–4 minutes for a lighter cup
• Vessel: A covered cup or pot helps retain the aromatic oils that give this blend its character — uncover only when ready to drink
• Sweetener: Optional — this blend is pleasant unsweetened, or with a small amount of honey

Honey Pairing

If you prefer a touch of sweetness, the floral character of this blend pairs well with:

• Orange Blossom Honey — light and floral, echoes the chamomile and lavender without competing
• Clover Honey — mild and clean, adds sweetness without altering the blend's flavor profile

Add honey after brewing, not during steeping, to preserve its character.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Quiet Time Tea taste like?
Floral and lightly citrusy — chamomile provides the dominant flavor with apple-like softness, lavender adds a botanical perfume note, and lemongrass contributes brightness. The green tea base is a background element. The overall profile is gentle and aromatic.

Is this tea caffeine-free?
No. Quiet Time Tea contains organic green tea, which is naturally caffeinated. The green tea is a minor component of the blend and caffeine per cup will be low, but this is not a caffeine-free product. If you need a fully caffeine-free herbal tisane, please check the ingredient list before purchasing.

Does it need to be sweetened?
No — chamomile and lemongrass have natural sweetness and the blend is pleasant unsweetened. If you prefer added sweetness, a small amount of Orange Blossom or Clover Honey complements the floral profile without masking it.

What size should I order?
The 1 oz pouch makes approximately 10–14 cups and is a good starting point. The 3.5 oz size offers better value per cup for regular use.
