Description
Most Earl Greys lean hard on bergamot and stop there. Lavender Earl Grey tea eases the edges with cornflower petals and a quiet thread of lavender, turning a brisk morning staple into something closer to a slow afternoon ritual.
Bergamot arrives first, bright and citrus-forward, riding on a full-bodied black tea base. Underneath, lavender, which is flowery but never soapy, completes the finish with a subtle herbaceous note. The body is smooth, the finish clean, and the aroma carries that calm, almost spa-like quality lavender is known for.
Benefits:
- Lavender is traditionally used to ease tension, making this particular blend a natural pick for wind-down hours.
- Black tea delivers steady, moderate caffeine, suitable for mornings without the jitter of coffee.
- Bergamot oil, the signature of any Earl Grey, contains compounds long associated with mood lift and mental clarity.
- Cornflower petals add visual beauty and a subtle floral note, rounding out the cup.
- Blended and packaged in small batches in Indianapolis to ensure freshness in every tin.

FAQs
What does lavender Earl Grey tea taste like?
Bergamot leads, with lavender following with a soft floral finish. The black tea base keeps it grounded and full-bodied rather than flowery.
Does this tea contain caffeine?
Yes. Lavender Earl Grey tea is built on a black tea base, so expect moderate caffeine, roughly half of what you'd get from coffee.
Can I add milk or a sweetener?
Absolutely. It takes milk and honey beautifully, especially as a hot or iced London Fog latte.
How much lavender is in the blend?
Just enough to perfume the cup without overpowering the bergamot. It reads as calming, not soapy.
Is this a good evening tea?
It works if caffeine doesn't affect your sleep. If you're sensitive, a pure herbal blend is the better call for nighttime.
