One can imagine Cleopatra herself closing her eyes as she sipped a chamomile infusion, or in a more recent past, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the ‘father of the Turks’, drowning his sorrows at the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in a good cup of chamomile (which would remind him once again of the simpler pleasures in life).
Ingredients: Chamomile flowers.

This was their drink.

PAI MU TAN WHITE TEA
The plant grows in the mountains of Fejian, at an altitude of 6,000 metres. It is made from the first, and most tender buds, which are carefully picked in spring by hand, one by one, before they open.
Tea with a floral aroma, it should be prepared at a low temperature (70º) and infused for no longer than two minutes. This tea has the lowest level of theine. The buds are covered in a white cloth, almost like a subtle skin of snow, from where it gets its name. For centuries it was reserved exclusively for the emperor and his close relatives. It was believed that it contained the secret to eternal youth.
