Only real lavender buds are used for this tea. The bracing climate and soil of the Loire Valley region allow for particularly strong essential oils to develop. Natural cultivation as well as gentle harvesting and drying methods foster the retention of these oils and aroma in the final product.
It is recommended that the tea is not prepared with boiling water, but rather 80°C water. When allowed to steep for 3 minutes at this temperature, the tea does not develop any bitterness, and the essential oils come to the fore in harmonic balance. The overall taste is lightly sweet and impressively fresh, and blossoms with a distinctively pleasant lavender aroma.
For a particularly strong tea, however, 100°C water can be used, and the tea allowed to steep for 3-5 minutes. According to this method, an intense lavender flavour will unfold that is slightly spicy and tart, with a strong, perfume-like aroma.
Herbal teas have been one of the most important applications of traditional herbalism for hundreds of years. Hot water helps release the valuable ingredients so that they can be easily absorbed by the body. Each herb represents a unique complex of active ingredients, sometimes combining hundreds of individual compounds. We select only the highest quality herbs from the best terroirs around the world, either from certified organic cultivation or wildcrafting. Our farms are often small, passionate family-run businesses with a long history of cultivating and processing the highest quality herbs and wild plants.
Our comprehensive portfolio focuses on organic, single-origin teas sourced directly from renowned farms. We believe in creating partnerships with farmers who share our values and are committed to sustainable, responsible tea cultivation. Thanks to these strong relationships our exciting range is constantly growing and evolving. As an international team of dedicated and passionate tea experts, we are committed to preserving centuries-old tea culture while ensuring it remains relevant and continues to bring joy in the present.
