Overview
Best pick • solid black choice from Unknown origin
Pairing: breakfast pastries, aged cheese, or dark chocolate
Slight pungency and a distinctive floral perfume character. If you like lavender, a pinch can be added to most cups of black tea. Also blends well with rooibos and honeybush. Experiment! Promotes relaxation. Ingredient: Lavender petals Origin: Provence, France Caffeine Content: None Water Temperature: Boiling Steep Time: 5+ minutes One heaping teaspoon per 8 ozs water "I don't drink Lavender straight up but I add it to a lot of black teas if I want to add floral bright top notes. I especially love Lavender added to any Earl Grey, but particularly the Double Cream Earl Grey. See my quote on that tea for further effusion..." - Lauren, owner and co-founder since 2010
