Frontier Co-op Organic German Whole Chamomile Flowers, 1-pound Bulk Bag, Makes Relaxing/Calming Tea, Kosher, Non Irradiated

I am impressed with this brand. There are actually whole flowers and not dust like most companies. The taste is mild and the affects are soothing. I sleep well after drinking a cup of chamomile tea.

Excellent quality. I can't get enough of this. I mix it with my berry tea, green tea, and George's Distilled Aloe. Fantastic. My tummy feels great.Here's why I use this brand: This organic product is CLEAN and vibrantly beautiful. When I open the bag, it smells like delicious honey and chamomile :)!! Based on my observations and my sense of smell, I have no reason to doubt the quality of this product.Here's why I use chamomile itself:1.) When I was growing up, my mom mentioned a few times that she been drinking chamomile during one her pregnancies. At the end of her term of pregnancy, she was at an ob/gyn appointment and was informed by her doctor that she was in labor and needed to go to the hospital immediately. My mom reported that she had no pain then and that she continued to feel fairly pain-free throughout the labor and delivery.2.) When I was a teenager and started menstruating, I had the most horrific abdominal pain immaginable each month. I felt like I was going out of my mind everytime I had a period. I could hardly stand, and sometimes I would do abdominal crunches or jump on a bike to try to "work off or run from the pain" because I could not stay still. The pain was too horrible. One day, it occurred to me that since my mom had been able to avoid normal delivery pains by taking chamomile, that maybe I could lessen my misery each month since uterine contractions could be why I was having so much pain during periods. I had also heard that the oil from the chamomile is where the chemical properties reside that help alleviate pain. I still have no idea if that last part is true, but I decided to go by that theory anyway.Here is what I did: I purchased dried chamomile in bulk and made four cheesecloth teabags for each day of the month. Each morning and night I would boil two teabags until the water was reduced by 50%, and then I would squeeze the teabags out into the water, trying to extract as much "oil" from the chamomile as possible. I have no idea if that was the way to do it, but that's the way I decided I was going to proceed.Here's the result: Within less than two months all of my monthly menstrual pain stopped. Gone, gone, gone. In later years, when I started having kids, I stopped experiencing so much pain altogether. I can't remember why that is, but I know it is not uncommon for women to have less menstrual pain after giving birth.3.) In my thirties, my youngest sister reported to me that she had also tried chamomile during one of her preganancies, and similar to our mother's outcome, she also had no pain during labor and delivery.That's my family history and that's why I like to take chamomile. I believe it has healing/soothing qualities. And while I'm taking it, I might as well take it from a brand I trust.I am not recommending that enyone use chamomile for medicinal purposes without consulting a physician, especially if pregnant. I am only telling my family account regarding the use of chamomile.Highly recommended product.

Clean, fragrant and beautiful.

Wasn't sure about the quality of the flowers when I ordered as this because it was the largest size for the price but the tea is very good, rich, and concentrated and the flowers were plentiful. I put them into a large mason jar to store as keeping them in the bag wasn't practical. I will be ordering this again to restock when we run out. Very happy with this purchase.

Excellent tea. I got all Flowers, no stems. .

The primary notes are floral and herbaceous, but the overall experience can feel muted, particularly if brewed according to the recommended steeping time of 5-10 minutes. To maximize flavor extraction, it's crucial to follow the correct brewing instructions. Users are advised to steep 2 teaspoons of chamomile in 8 ounces of boiling water for about 5-10 minutes. Over-steeping can lead to bitterness, which might further detract from the expected flavor profile. Shorter steeping times yield a more pleasant taste, emphasizing the tea's natural sweetness without introducing any unpleasant bitterness.

Great product, best bang for your buck herbal substance I've used, and with great success. Initially very good for sleep (though if I took too much I had a strong hangover for the first 3 or so days of using it nightly, but that quickly went away.) After a few days the sleep inducing effect faded, but the anti-anxiety and antidepressant effect has stayed with me, even after the week or two I've been using it daily. I can make it rather strong now that the hangover effect is gone, and this is great for the above listed problems. Totally eliminates my anxiety in public.I put around 10 - 15 ounces of the flowers into a small pot, add maybe 20 ounces of water and a shot of vodka (it helps extract the active chemicals and acts as a preservative for the resulting extract), and boil it slowly for about an hour (a lot of the alcohol cooks off). Then I strain out the plant matter, put the liquid back into the pot and boil off a lot of it to make it very concentrated, reducing all that down to about 3 ounces, adding a very small amount of alcohol again at the end to ensure the preservative effect. It is a black, cloudy liquid after this is done, and then all I need is a small sip a few times a day. Great stuff, I highly recommend doing this for those with anxiety.I have only been using this daily for about 1 - 2 weeks though, I will return and write an update about whether or not anything has changed or stopped working.Update - It did lose strength as time went by, but it was good for a little while. I still recommend this, but only occasionally, not a long-term solution.

If you are shopping around for dried chamomile flower, look no further. The flowers have a wonderful aroma and taste to them.The cool thing about using chamomile flowers for loose leaf tea is that you get a much stronger cup of tea. If you are using it for medicinal purposes, this is huge. How I make my tea I would guess that each cup of loose leaf vs a pre-bagged tea literally has 5 times (+) more chamomile per cup.For such high quality Organic and Kosher chamomile flower I was very surprised at how big a pound is. I keep the bag in a large ziplock freezer bag and fill up a quart mason jar to keep among my tea related stuff. I would guess that the pound will fill 4-6 quarts, which is quite a lot of tea.Highly recommend this chamomile, it will last you for quite sometime. So much comes with a pound I have been considering making a tincture.
