Quietly Chamomile

Quietly Chamomile is made by Lipton.

Flavor:  There is a hint of citrus and a sort of "pine tree" taste that I noticed first.  Chamomile is a flower, and that light flowery taste is also evident.  Overall, it has a very herby green taste, but that is not unpleasant.

Suggested Additions:  I think the honey-lemon route would be a good choice.  Honey is also flowery and since there is a citrus taste in the tea already, those additions would enhance the flavor.  I was in a rush to enjoy this tea with my breakfast though, so I went with what was quick and easy- a level spoonful of white sugar.

Ingredients:  I have long ago lost the box and kept this tea in the tea caddy, so I thought I would not be able to get the ingredients, but thanks to Lipton, all their ingredients are listed online!  Chamomile flowers, orange peel, rosehips, hibiscus flowers, allspice, licorice root, natural flavor, soy lecithin

Purpose:  Usually, chamomile is used to decrease stress and relax the body and mind.  My mom swears a cup of it will put her right to sleep.  I don't find I fall asleep from it, but I was not in the mood today for a caffeinated tea so I thought I'd go with this old classic.
