If there's one herb that feels like a cozy hug at the end of a long day, it's chamomile. Known as one of the world’s oldest medicinal herbs, chamomile has earned its reputation as nature’s nighttime remedy - and for good reason. This gentle, floral tea has helped people relax, soothe their nerves, and drift into dreamland for centuries.
Whether you're winding down after a busy day, trying to get better sleep, or simply craving a calming ritual, chamomile tea is your go-to cup of comfort. And here at Catalyst Tea Company, we’ve hand-blended some dreamy chamomile-based teas to help you sink into peace, rest, and wellness.
🌼 Why Chamomile?
Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is rich in antioxidants and essential oils that work in harmony to support your nervous system. It’s often used to:
Promote restful sleep
Ease anxiety and emotional tension
Support digestion (especially when stress affects your stomach)
Reduce inflammation and headaches
Soothe the skin and body from the inside out
Its mild apple-like taste and calming scent make chamomile a beautiful base for herbal blends, especially when paired with other heartwarming herbs.

🌙 How to Enjoy Chamomile Tea
To get the most from your chamomile tea:
Steep 1 Tbsp of herb in 8oz of hot water for at least 5–7 minutes (cover your cup to trap the essential oils!)
Sip slowly in the evening, maybe with a journal or candle nearby
Pair with a cozy bedtime routine—like stretching, reading, or gentle music
💫 The Ritual Matters
At Catalyst Tea Company, we believe that how you drink your tea matters just as much as what’s in it. Every cup is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and nourish your body and soul.
