The Caffeine Surprise
| Item | Figure |
|---|---|
| ☕ For scale | A Grande Caffè Latte has about 150 mg; a Chai Latte about 55 mg. |
Pure chamomile is an herbal tea with no caffeine, which is why so many people search “does Starbucks have chamomile tea” expecting a bedtime option. Starbucks’ version mixes chamomile with green tea, so it has roughly a sixth of the caffeine of a latte. That is still low, but if you are sensitive to caffeine late at night, Mint Majesty is the safer pick.
What’s in Chamomile Mint Blossom?
| Ingredient | What it adds |
|---|---|
| Green tea | Light, grassy body and the caffeine |
| Chamomile | Soft, honey-like floral flavor |
| Spearmint | Cool, sweet mint (gentler than peppermint) |
| Rose hips | A tart, fruity edge |
Taste: mellow and floral up front, cool spearmint in the middle and a light citrus-fruit finish. It is not bitter if steeped briefly, and it needs no sugar, although a little honey suits it.

Starbucks and Teavana: What Happened?
Starbucks bought the tea retailer Teavana in 2012, then closed the Teavana mall stores a few years later. Today you will not find Teavana shops, but Teavana-branded tea bags and sachets are sold in grocery stores and online, and the café teas appear on the Starbucks hot tea menu. If you are hunting for Chamomile Mint Blossom or Mint Majesty boxes, check grocery stores, big-box retailers and online shops; availability varies by location.
Make a Chamomile Mint Tea at Home
This loose-leaf blend follows Starbucks’ description: chamomile, spearmint, green tea and rose hips. Leave out the green tea for a caffeine-free bedtime version.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon (about 2 g) dried chamomile flowers
- 1 teaspoon (about 1 g) dried spearmint leaves
- ½ teaspoon (about 1 g) green tea, such as sencha (skip for a caffeine-free cup)
- ½ teaspoon dried rose hips, lightly crushed (optional, for a fruity, tart note)
- 1 strip lemon peel (optional, for the light citrus note)
- 12 oz (350 ml) water
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the water. Bring the water to about 175°F (80°C), just steaming. Hotter water makes green tea bitter; for the caffeine-free version without green tea, you can use water just off the boil.
- Combine. Put the chamomile, spearmint, green tea, rose hips and lemon peel in an infuser or teapot.
- Steep. Pour in the water and steep for 3 minutes with green tea, or 5 minutes for the caffeine-free version.
- Strain and sweeten. Remove the leaves, add honey if you like and serve hot. For iced, steep with half the water, then pour over a full glass of ice.
Tips, swaps and storage
- Peppermint instead of spearmint gives a sharper, cooler cup.
- Lemon chamomile: swap the rose hips for an extra strip of lemon peel.
- Make a jar: mix 4 parts chamomile, 4 parts spearmint, 2 parts green tea and 2 parts rose hips; use about 1 tablespoon per cup.
- Storage: keep the dry blend in an airtight jar away from light for up to 6 months. Brewed tea keeps 2 days in the fridge.
