Sourcing actuel

Flowering and harvest June–August, usually over several cuts. Dried flower and steam-distilled blue oil ship year-round.

Romania / Balkans — EU-Organic cultivated + semi-wild

German chamomile is a classic Eastern-European field crop; Romania, Hungary and the Balkans supply cultivated and semi-wild dried flower. EU-origin Carpathian/Balkan lots suit buyers who want EU traceability and a cleaner pesticide-residue profile than the global volume origin.

Egypt — global volume origin

Egyptian chamomile dominates world export volume and sets price; EU buyers often blend Egyptian base volume with EU-origin premium lots. Origin and chemotype drive the essential-oil chamazulene level and the pesticide-residue risk profile — the two variables a tea or cosmetics buyer cares about most.

Contrôles qualité & spécifications

German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) is read off two things: the essential-oil content with its chamazulene/(−)-α-bisabolol profile, and — for extract buyers — the apigenin level. The first decision a buyer makes, though, is species: German chamomile is not Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile), and they are different oils with different applications.

  • Essential-oil content (steam-distilled) typically 0.3–1.5% of dried flower; the deep-blue colour comes from chamazulene that forms during distillation
  • Oil quality is read on chamazulene + (−)-α-bisabolol (and its oxides) — the anti-inflammatory/calming marker set; the ratio shifts with origin and chemotype
  • Apigenin (and apigenin-7-glucoside) is the extract-buyer marker for sleep/calming positioning
  • Whole flower heads vs flower-and-stem cut — sifted whole heads with low stem/leaf content command a premium; specify sieve/mesh grade and stem tolerance
  • German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla / recutita) ≠ Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) — confirm the Latin name on the COA
  • Pesticide-residue panel is critical for tea-grade — chamomile is a frequent EU RASFF screening crop; EU-origin / EU-Organic lowers residue risk
  • Microbiological + foreign-matter panel per EU Reg. 2073/2005; tea-grade is often steam-sterilised — confirm the method, since irradiation is restricted and must be labelled in the EU

Questions fréquentes

Where can I source organic chamomile flowers in bulk in the EU?+

TANDOR is a Romania-based sourcing intermediary supplying EU-Organic German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) — whole dried flower heads, tea-cut, and blue essential oil — from Carpathian/Balkan and EU-origin lots, with a Certificate of Analysis and pesticide-residue panel per batch.

German vs Roman chamomile — which do I need?+

German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla / recutita) is the high-volume tea and blue-oil species, rich in chamazulene and bisabolol. Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) is a different, lower-volume oil used mainly in perfumery and aromatherapy. Most tea and supplement buyers want German chamomile — confirm the Latin name on the spec.

What quality markers should be on the spec?+

For flower: essential-oil content (%), whole-head ratio / sieve grade, and a full pesticide-residue panel. For oil: chamazulene and (−)-α-bisabolol levels. For extract: apigenin / apigenin-7-glucoside. State the analytical method on the COA so two suppliers' figures are actually comparable.

Why does origin matter for chamomile?+

Egypt sets global volume and price but carries a higher pesticide-screening profile; EU-origin (Carpathian/Balkan) EU-Organic lots give cleaner residue profiles and EU traceability at a premium. Chamazulene level in the oil also shifts with origin and chemotype, so origin is a quality variable, not just a cost one.

Is the flower steam-sterilised, and can it be irradiated?+

Tea-grade chamomile is frequently steam-sterilised to meet microbiological limits. Irradiation is restricted and must be labelled in the EU — if your formulation forbids irradiated botanicals, state 'no irradiation, steam-treated only' on the spec and confirm it on the COA.
