We just love these loose leaf teas from local company, Tealicious. They've been expertly blended by their resident Tea Expert and we can honestly say they're the best teas we've tasted!
Chamomile Smile provides a refreshing caffeine free alternative to regular tea and is made from 100% Chamomile flowers. Chamomile has been drunk as an infusion for centuries and is widely regarded as beneficial for improving sleep, soothing anxiety and generally relaxing the body.
Chamomile Smile uses the whole flower and because it has not been crushed to make it fit into a tea bag, you will enjoy the beautiful full flavour of it.

The Tealicious Way To Brew:
The Water:Always use fresh water. It is the dissolved oxygen in the water that draws the flavour out of the tea leaf. Water that has been boiled before has less oxygen so won't brew as well.
Only put in the amount of water you are going to use. It makes no difference to how the tea tastes but it will use less energy and save you money.
Use your favourite. It doesn’t matter if its metal, china or glass but it does help to warm it first. The best type of tea pot is one with an internal removable strainer or basket. Removing the strainer enables you to stop the tea from brewing beyond your ideal time.
The Tea:
When you are able to get top quality leaf tea why would you pay extra to have it wrapped in tissue or some other material which restricts its brew? It makes no sense, so always use whole leaf tea. You will soon work out what is best for you but we recommend 1 teaspoon per cup, placed in the warmed tea pot.
The Pouring:
Putting the milk in first or last does make a difference but neither is wrong. Why not pour one cup of each and see which you prefer.
Sit down, relax and make time to enjoy this exquisite drink that has been so carefully brought to its point of perfection.
