Origin
Alföldi Chamomile, Székkutas · Hungary
Around Székkutas, chamomile favors the alkaline soils that crops shun. The flower grows dense and fragrant there.
Lore
Steeped since Egypt and Rome as a calming simple, chamomile is a tisane, not a tea: no Camellia in the cup. Hungary's Great Plain remains one of its celebrated wild-harvest sources.
