Description: Black Lavender is also known as a traditional French Earl Grey. Beautiful notes of aromatic bergamot combine perfectly with the fresh perfume of dried organic lavender blossoms. The tea is flavourful on its own, while also able to carry milk and honey, and steeps beautifully for iced tea on a hot summer day. A truly elegant cup, this tea pairs wonderfully with glazed lemon cakes and lighter sweets for an afternoon treat.

Tasting Notes: Steeping to a rich raw sienna tone, the aroma of lavender is elegant and refined beside the oil of bergamot. They complement each other just as much in the taste - the floral lavender brings subtle sweetness to the fresh citrus taste of bergamot on the mid-palate. The malt of a black Assam tea adds nice strength to the cup, and a bit of astringency to the zest in the cup’s linger.

Brewing Instructions: 2g per cup. 100ºC water. steep 3-5 minutes.

Organic, 110g tin.
