Chamomile
Chamomile Flowers (Matricaria chamomilla) have been known for centuries for their calming and soothing effects. As one of the most widely consumed herbal tea ingredients in the world, chamomile stands out with its mildly sweet and floral aroma. This makes it a popular choice not only in health-supporting products but also in the food and cosmetics industries.
At Tuna Spice, we carefully dry fully bloomed chamomile flower heads to preserve their high essential oil content and natural aroma, ensuring premium quality for our customers.
