Chamomile & Goji Berry Tea

Why people make this tea

When Nourilo was taking a course on making aromatic essential oils many years ago, chamomile caught his attention for its remarkably gentle yet effective anti-inflammatory properties. As a flower tea, chamomile has long been popular globally for its calming, slightly apple-sweet aroma and its associations with restful sleep, headache relief, and skin soothing. Chinese goji berry (gou qi zi) is a natural pairing — rich in zeaxanthin and antioxidant polysaccharides, it is one of the most classic Chinese herbs for nourishing the liver and supporting eye health. Together in a simple infusion, these two ingredients make a tea that is as enjoyable to drink daily as it is practically useful during seasons of heavy screen use or environmental stress.

The used tea bag can also be placed over closed eyes while still warm — a gentle compress that may help reduce puffiness and dark circles.
