Ingredients & Lore:
 
Blended With: Apple Pieces, Lemon Grass, Rose Hips, Lavender, Orange, Blue Cornflowers, & Natural Lemon Flavor
 
Lavender is a pale silvery-green bush that produces beautiful purple flowers. The flowers, which are characterized by their strong scent, are frequently used in sachets, lotions, and perfumes, particularly in nighttime products, as lavender is famous for its calming effects. While lavender can be served by itself as a tisane, its strong flavor can be overpowering on its own, making it much better suited to pairing with other, balancing flavors like the apple and lemon featured in this tea.

For our flavor teas we use high grown teas from the top 3 tea growing regions of Sri Lanka - Nuwara Eliya, Dimbula and Uva. These three high-grown districts produce flavorful teas that have classic 'Ceylon' tea character which is noted by floral bouquet and flavor notes, touches of mild astringency, bright coppery color and, most importantly - perfect for use as the base tea of our flavored teas. (We have tested teas from various other origins around the world as base stock for our flavored teas, but none of these teas made the grade.) Dimbula and the western estates of Nuwara Eliya have a major quality peak during Jan/Feb, whereas Uva and the eastern estates of Nuwara Eliya have their peak in July/Aug. This 'dual peak period' allow us to buy the best for our flavored tea blends several times during the year, ensuring top quality and freshness.
 
We specifically use only natural flavors. High quality tea tastes good and natural flavors do not mask the natural taste of the high grown tea. (The norm for many making flavored tea is to use overpowering artificial flavors, which can be used to hide lower quality tea). Natural flavors do not leave an aftertaste giving the tea a clean and true character. It should be noted that natural flavors tend to be somewhat 'soft ' and the flavors slightly muted, but for many this is a refreshing change and one of the desired attributes of our naturally flavored teas.
