Bonomelli carefully cultivates its authentic chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) in Italy, processing the harvest directly at their facility in Zola Predosa, Bologna. Rather than relying on chemically extracted commercial teas, this is real, whole-flower chamomile that is simply harvested, naturally dried, and mechanically sifted right into the filter bags. This straightforward process preserves the rich essential oils found right in the center of the flower, giving shoppers a warm, comforting flavor and a naturally soothing cup of tea.
