شاي إيرل لافندر العضوي

The dry leaves have a lovely floral fragrance that really opens up once steeped, and it’s got a smooth, calming taste that’s perfect for an afternoon break. I’ve been drinking a cup every day since it arrived.

I was skeptical about the lavender-and-earl-grey combo, but the balance is spot on — the bergamot keeps it from tasting like soap. Steeping it for about three minutes gives a cup that's calming without being sleepy, and I've already gone through half the tin.

The lavender hits you the second you open the tin, and it's genuinely calming without tasting like soap. I've been having a cup before bed instead of scrolling my phone, and I actually look forward to it now.
