At some point the name has changed from Calming Camomile to Pure Camomile. Possibly in 2019 when Twinings introduced its Moment of Calm camomile, vanilla and chicory blend. This a pleasant, fresh, flowery, and gently sweet camomile. Nice.

There's an earthy quality to this that back in 2016 I didn't like, but this time round I find it to be a gentle balance to the delicate sweetness. This is refreshing and subtly flavoured. It does serve as a decent alternative to everyday tea. The camomile plant is part of the daisy/sunflower family, and has been used for medicinal purposes since at least Roman times. It is known to have a soothing, calming effect, though studies have not yet discovered how it works.

Around £2 for 20. Not strongly flavoured, and tastes oddly stale. Some grass juice near the finish, and a mild astringency. Prefer the Tesco camomile.

We did a side by side comparison. In an earlier review of Twinings Camomile I felt it was more earthy than the Tesco, this time we both felt the Tesco to be more earthy. We found the Twinings to be sweet and flowery. We didn't find we actually hugely preferred the one over the other, as they both had aspects we liked - we liked the light, delicate, fresh, flowery nature of the Twinings. And we liked the earthy, characterful quality of the Tesco which edged toward fennel. So it was a draw. Good to have both in the cupboard to add a little variety to the morning camomile.
