Goodwyn Chamomile Tea is sourced from a single tea estate in Assam. The pack contains 20 enveloped tea bags (we are so happy that they don’t have staple pins!), which need to be brewed for 3-5 minutes for the perfect light golden color.
Best Chamomile Tea To Buy: (Gourmet Pick) The Hillcart Tales Celestial Chamomile Tea
The Hillcart Tales Celestial Chamomile Tea
We would also recommend Celestial Chamomile, a pure (100%) chamomile tea by Hillcart Tales as our Gourmet pick and a perfect gifting option for someone who loves chamomile tea.
Size: 14 teabags, Price: Rs. 280*
*At the time of review
Celestial Chamomile by Hillcart Tales is a beautifully crafted packet, with small muslin tea bags. The tea tastes fresh and nutty and has a lovely golden hue. Its priced higher than most brands in this category, and when you look at the packing you know why. We only wish the size of the muslin tea bags was slightly bigger. At the moment the tea bags seem a little overstuffed – which means that the chamomile dried flowers inside pack together making it difficult for those right in the middle to interact with the hot water. Despite this disadvantage, Hillcart’s Chamomile Tea tastes very good, and its packaging further adds to its utility as a great gift for chamomile tea lovers.

How We Reviewed
We were looking for the most flavorful cup with the signature taste and aroma of chamomile flowers. The brands include a mix of 100% pure chamomile teas and also those that include a bit of green tea.
However, during our taste tests, and not as surprisingly though, we found that those with a 100% chamomile presence tasted significantly better. Those who are dabbling in this for health reasons and for the benefits of Chamomile Tea would also stand to gain more when the percentage of chamomile flowers is more.
Some brands tasted good, but other parameters like the musty aroma or the presence of staple pins meant that they did not make it to your Top Pick. Typhoo is one such brand. While it met all criteria of taste, aroma, and color, and faired well on all those, the fact that the tea bags continue to have staple pins went against it. If it was not for this potential health concern, Typhoo would have made it to the Top of the list.
We conducted various tasting rounds to keep shortlisting brands and arrive at our top recommendations. The 4 brands that got top positions during our blind tastings were: Goodwyn, Hillcart Tales, Typhoo & Only Leaf.
The Conclusion
Chamomile Tea by Goodwyn emerged as the Best Chamomile Tea in our review. It is not only the most flavorful, but it also has a pleasing aroma, contains 100% pure chamomile flowers sourced from a single tea garden, is priced reasonably and its tea bags do not have staple pins. All these factors make Goodwyn Chamomile a clear winner amongst all the brands we reviewed.
Goodwyn Chamomile Tea tastes fresh and calming. It contains 100% chamomile and is completely caffeine-free. The aroma is pleasing, with a mildly sweet and nutty flavor.
