Tea Docent says “Our pure chamomile is from Egypt, where its legend began. Chamomile’s healing properties made it more valuable than gold for ancient Egyptians. Trusted enough for Pharaoh, chamomile was powerful enough to heal sacred trees. Chamomile grows in many places, but when you seek its soothing, calming, healing benefits, reach for Pharaoh’s. Authentic, delicious, pure.”
