A herb from the Nile...
Our modern English word "chamomile" comes from the Greek word, "chamaimelon" meaning "earth apple".

Sydney Tea's chamomile is much more than just refreshing, it is produced from Egyptian chamomile. Certified organic Egyptian chamomile.

In the Nile delta, chamomile was attested to back in 1550 BC in the Ebers Papyrus, an antiquated codex that mentions some of chamomile's health and spiritual benefits. In ancient Egypt, this wonderful herb was used as an offering to the gods, was used in embalming rituals and practices and was also used medicinally. Gods, humans and the dead all enjoyed the benefits, aroma, flavor and effects of chamomile? Talk about a popular herb!
