So, to be completely Frank with you (I love saying that): I’m not a big chamomile person. Lately I’ve been thinking I could use a bit of a sleep aid, and (in case you didn’t know already), chamomile actually has a natural, mild muscle relaxant in it, which many people use to help them relax/sleep. Still, if I’m going to drink chamomile, it needs to taste like something other than flowers.

So, without further ado:

Congratulations to Natalie Tyler who correctly identified Jacksons of Piccadilly as the originators of Earl Grey.

This week’s trivia challenge:

What country claims chamomile as their national flower?

I was trying to come up with something suitable for the Halloween holidays, and at the same time, I just received a shipment of real licorice root pieces (which were DELICIOUS just steeped by themselves).

I’m personally not a big fan of licorice in jellybeans and candy, but the licorice root pieces were actually a pleasant surprise. They were sweeter and had less bite than the candies I’ve tried. Paired with our cinnamon bark bits and our premium Indian black teas, I think you will agree, makes a really soothing treat which is surprisingly good iced too!

Since licorice is one of those love it or hate it kind of things, we made an extra small batch of this tea, so get it while you can!
