Ruby Blossoms Refresher with Chamomile Blossoms

Ruby Blossoms Refresher with Chamomile Blossoms

There's something timeless about chamomile. From ancient rituals to modern sips, this delicate flower has carried its calming charm through centuries. The ancient Egyptians once crushed chamomile blooms for their skin-soothing powers, while the Romans discovered them growing wild in the coliseum and infused them into drinks for their fragrant flavour. Fast forward to today, and this golden blossom still weaves its way into our lives, especially in the form of our Chamomile Blossoms tea.

Crafted with a thoughtful blend of chamomile flowers, rose petals, and lavender buds, Tea Drop’s  Chamomile Blossoms offers a soft bouquet of sweet floral notes with a whisper of green apple. It’s a pick-me-up, a wind-down, and a sensory delight all in one.

And what better way to bring out its refreshing elegance than in a vibrant, health-packed cooler? Enter the Ruby Blossoms Refresher, a colourful, antioxidant-rich drink that’s as beautiful as it is beneficial.
