## About
The house goes quiet, the lamp goes low, and the kettle goes on one last time. This is a loose blend of whole Egyptian chamomile flowers, French lavender buds and a light scatter of lemon balm leaf: no dust and no bagged fannings, only whole flowers and leaf unfolding slowly in the pot.Chamomile has been Europe's bedtime cup for centuries. Lavender's scent has an equally long history in sachets and pillow herbs, and lemon balm has kept them both company since at least the medieval monastery gardens where all three grew side by side. Before the first sip, the floral steam alone tells the evening to slow down.DetailsWhole Egyptian chamomile flowersFrench lavender budsLemon balm leafLoose blend, caffeine-freeHow to useSteep a heaped teaspoon in water just off the boil for five minutes, letting the flowers open fully before you strain.
