Passé are those days when just sipping in your regular tea made with simmering tea leaves and milk was enough to qualify as your daily intake of a comforting cup of chai. These days, there is a myriad of teas with different flavours, aromas and concoctions that are available in the market to choose from. There is green tea, chamomile tea, lavender tea, hibiscus tea, lavender tea, black tea, white tea, matcha tea and so many more. Rather even these have become quite commonplace now; the new fad being the coloured and flowering teas. For someone unversed with the world of these herbal and green teas, it can be quite baffling to figure out the tea that works best for your systems.
Out of these, Chamomile teas are quite popular as they are the absolutely benign herbal variant that tends to endlessly soothe your nerves and calm the perturbed mind. Green teas, which have been around for a long time now are also known to have great health benefits. They are derived from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant by quickly heating the leaves (through pan-frying or steaming) and then immediately cooling them down so that no excess oxidation takes place. Green teas are known to be superabundant with antioxidants that are good for the skin, hair and overall health. They are also known to enhance brain functioning, help with fat burning and prevent cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. So there is no denying the fact that drinking green tea is great for our overall well-being. The only downside to savouring copious amounts of green tea is that it is laden with caffeine. Excess of caffeine is not good for our systems and also interferes with our sleeping patterns. If you have been in a habit of consuming a cup of hot green tea before bedtime, it is better you get done with the habit. Chamomile tea, on the other hand, is derived from the flowers and buds of the chamomile plant, or the ‘chamomile flower’ as some may like to call it.
It is a soothing tea that induces sleep and is best preferred to be consumed at night time. There is absolutely no amount of caffeine present in the chamomile tea, hence, the tea hardly has any perils to it.
Consuming Chamomile Green Tea – Let’s Do Our Bodies Some Good Service
Chamomile Green Tea is derived by amalgamating extracts from the chamomile flower and the green tea leaves. It is a very popular resort to drinking a calming cup of herbal tea with numerous health benefits, all over the world. Since both green tea and chamomile tea are so great for our health, it just makes absolute sense to drink a mix of the two. The flavour of the tea is power-packed with the strong aroma of the green teas surcharged with the fruity smell of the chamomile flower. No wonder, once you simmer the tea leaves with water, they fill the place with such a soothing, enchanting aroma of these herbs, that calms down the whole environment. The light golden colour of the tea is also lit and gives one all the feel of indulging in a luxurious decadence of sorts.
The tea is light on the stomach and aids digestion. It is absolutely delectable and is sure to transport your mind to a pristine state with no worries or cares in the world. The high amounts of caffeine in green tea are diluted with the presence of chamomile extracts. Hence, chamomile green tea has very little to negligible amounts of caffeine in it. This makes the tea ideal to be consumed 3-4 times a day, without worrying about the superfluous caffeine contents.
