Description

Chamomile tea bags are small paper or fabric sachets containing dried flowers of Matricaria chamomilla, a plant known for its calming and digestive properties. This ingredient is widely used in cooking and for preparing infusions due to its mild, slightly sweet taste with a floral note.

Chamomile is native to Europe and Western Asia, and its use has spread throughout the world, especially in Latin America, where it is common to prepare infusions to relieve stomach discomfort, promote relaxation, and improve sleep.

Among its properties, its anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and calming capabilities stand out, making it an ideal ingredient for infusions that accompany desserts or recipes that require a subtle and aromatic touch.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, chamomile tea bags are also known as manzanilla sachets, bolsitas de té de manzanilla, or simply chamomile tea when referring to the product in its infused form.
