HERB - chamomile

[LYN M PARKINSON]

I still have a lot of chamomile tea from Germany, and when I run short of
favorite teas from Germany, one of the travelers in the family resupplies
me.  Is that tea really going to be different, or have different effects,
than the chamomile tea I'd buy in a store in the USA?  To the inexpert,
they seem the same.
Regards,

Allison
