Lavender mint green tea for the gentle flavours of spring
Let the softness of a spring garden wash over your senses. Starting with a base of Sencha green tea with its fresh, grassy character, we've layered in the gentle sweetness of spearmint leaves. Into this cool, refreshing blend drifts the soothing quality of lavender flowers, lifted by a whisper of vanilla. Peppermint leaves add a pleasant bite to this roundness. The finish of the infusion is perfumed with the toasted hazelnut notes of mallow flowers. For a more creative cup, this gentle herbal infusion pairs beautifully with fruit, rose or rooibos, whether from a tea bag or a loose-leaf tin.
The benefits of lavender mint tea
The organic green tea at the heart of our lavender mint blend is celebrated for its antioxidants. With its naturally energising properties, Sencha green tea is often associated with cardiovascular wellbeing. In this soothing infusion, it is complemented by lavender flowers, whose coumarins have a calming effect and whose esters act as antispasmodics, making them ideal for easing migraines and supporting digestion. These benefits are further enhanced by spearmint and peppermint. The blend is rounded out by mallow flowers, known for their calming and soothing qualities, and finished with vanilla, a gentle, relaxing spice with digestive properties.
Our brewing guide
How to prepare lavender mint green tea
Brewing our organic lavender and mint green tea couldn't be simpler. Add the leaves to a cup of hot water and within 2 to 3 minutes, the vanilla will begin to perfume your cup with its gentle warmth.
How much lavender mint green tea should I use?
For a generous, full-flavoured infusion of lavender flowers and spearmint, we recommend using 12 to 15 grams per litre of hot water, roughly one teaspoon per cup.
What is the ideal brewing temperature for lavender mint green tea?
Lavender flowers and mint leaves are delicate. To preserve the health properties and the flavour of the infusion, we recommend steeping in water heated to 70–80 °C.
When is the best time to drink lavender mint green tea?
Our organic green tea with its gentle lavender flavour, mint and mallow is a pleasure at any time of day. In the evening, much like rooibos, this delicately flavoured infusion makes a lovely companion as you wind down for the night.
The benefits of loose-leaf lavender mint green tea
Whether loose-leaf, in a tin or a bag, our infusion retains its full flavour. Lavender flowers and mint leaves remain whole. In standard tea bags, the ingredients are ground to a powder, losing much of their aromatic character. An airtight tin or resealable bag also helps preserve the freshness of the fruits, leaves and flowers.
