The sandy loam and nutrient deposits of the Nile Delta create perfect conditions for growing Camomile.  The tiny blooms, with their yellow center and white petals, have been grown in the Delta for centuries.  Over this time, thanks to the many trading and shipping routes that traversed the ancient world, people from all corners of the globe found countless uses for the flower.  For example, the ancient Greeks used it like potpouri to freshen their homes.  In other parts of Southern Europe, it was often sipped for relief of health problems ranging from toothache to nervousness.  People as far away as China believed Camomile to have beneficial properties that allowed it to be a cure for headaches.  Wherever it travelled, the flower's most common use was always as a soothing drink before bed.  And it still is - Camomile's natural properties promote restfulness and good night's sleep.  The possibilities are endless...

While peppermint is cultivated in many different parts of the world, quality can vary greatly.  These days, most tea experts agree that the world's best peppermint is grown in the northwestern United States in the shadow of the majestic Rocky Mountains.  The pure, moist air of spring and summer give the sweet herb an amazingly deep flavor.  The  second harvest during August typically provides the most flavorful leaf - cool in the mouth and pungent on the nose.
