Tea is an invitation to pause, reflect, and find a moment of tranquility in an otherwise chaotic day. While the classic Earl Grey is beloved worldwide for its bold citrus notes, we decided to elevate this traditional blend by introducing an element of profound calm. Our Earl Grey Lavender Tea is a meticulously balanced, highly aromatic infusion that bridges the gap between a robust morning pick-me-up and a soothing, botanical spa experience.
Premium Sri Lankan Black Tea Base
The foundation of any great Earl Grey is the black tea itself. We refuse to use cheap, dusty tea fannings found in commercial tea bags. Instead, we source whole-leaf, high-elevation black tea directly from the misty estates of Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon). This specific tea is prized for its brisk, full-bodied character and naturally sweet, malty undertones. The whole leaves ensure a smooth extraction that never turns bitter, even if accidentally over-steeped.
Cold-Pressed Italian Bergamot
What makes Earl Grey recognizable is the addition of bergamot—a fragrant citrus fruit native to the Mediterranean. Rather than using synthetic flavor sprays, our tea leaves are tumbled with 100% pure, cold-pressed essential oil extracted from the rinds of Italian bergamot oranges. This authentic oil provides a brilliant, zesty, and highly floral citrus top note that awakens the senses instantly upon brewing.
Culinary French Lavender
The masterpiece of this blend is the addition of culinary-grade lavender sourced from the Provence region of France. Lavender can easily overpower a beverage, making it taste like soap if not measured perfectly. Our master blenders incorporate just the right percentage of dried lavender blossoms to ensure the floral notes remain delicate and soothing, perfectly complementing the sharp citrus of the bergamot and the rich maltiness of the black tea.
Brewing & Serving Recommendations
- Aroma: Intoxicatingly floral with bright, zesty citrus and deep black tea.
- How to Enjoy: Excellent served black, but truly shines when paired with a splash of steamed milk and a touch of vanilla syrup for a "London Fog" experience.
- Caffeine Level: Moderate. Perfect for a gentle morning start or a mid-afternoon lift.
