Roman chamomile

Our Roman chamomile comes from the lush flats of Norfolk, where the flowers are harvested from July to August, at the peak of their bloom. A low, creeping perennial that tolerates foot traffic well, Roman chamomile has historically been grown as a lawn and path herb, releasing its gentle apple scent into the air when trodden on. After harvesting, the flowers undergo steam distillation quickly in order to preserve their fruity, sweet herbaceousness.

Chamomile - the group of plants Roman chamomile belongs to - was named for its remedial properties among the nine sacred herbs in the Anglo-Saxon medicinal text, the Lacnunga, over a thousand years ago.
