Taste Test Chamomile

Chamomile Tea is a popular herbal tea widely thought to have a calming and relaxing effect. Chamomile, sometimes spelled camomile, is a family of related plants; most of the chamomile used in tea is the species Matricaria recutita. In addition to being consumed as a tea on its own, chamomile is a common ingredient in herbal tea blends. It is used both as a beverage and as an herbal medicine. These plants belong to the Asteraceae family. The flower heads are the primary plant parts used in herbal medicine. 








Normally I am not a fan of Chamomile tea, but I had four different kids, so I thought it was a good tasting for the kids :)  See what we all thought of the taste testing....

what did the family think?  It was pretty split.
Novus- 3 number 1's (Christy, Ryan, & Josh)
Tazo- 0
Yogi- 2 number 1's (Mom & Katie)
Bigelow- 1 number 1's (ME)
My favorite was the Bigelow tea, then Novus (which is owned by Bigelow), then Tazo, and then Yogi.  I thought that the Yogi was really bad. It had a long licorice taste.  Interestingly enough the Yogi was my mom and nieces favorite tea!    This is a quote from my nephew Josh, "The Yogi one taste like sunscreen!". It just shows that everyone has different taste buds!!!
