Badia Bag Chamomile Flowers

Chamomile — manzanilla — is the after-dinner tea Cuban households reach for when someone says their stomach hurts, when a child won't sleep, or when the night just needs slowing down.

Badia packages whole dried chamomile flowers in tea bags — floral, mild, faintly apple-sweet when steeped. No additives, no blends. Just manzanilla, the way abuela kept it in the cabinet next to the tilo and the anís estrellado.

Common Uses: steeped 4–5 minutes for an after-dinner tea, served with a spoonful of sugar or honey, given to children before bed, taken plain for digestion after a heavy meal of lechón or picadillo.

Cultural Context: manzanilla sits in the Cuban household remedy tradition alongside tilo and agua de azahar — the gentle teas that come out at night, during stomach upsets, or when nerves need calming. It's the tea that gets offered when coffee would be too much.

Pairs With: a small spoon of honey, a slice of lemon, or a pastelito de guayaba for the afternoon merienda.

Hard to find outside South Florida grocery aisles. Ships nationwide to Cuban-American households restocking the pantry shelf.
