Lavender with Earl Grey Ceylon Tea – Where Floral Calm Meets Citrus Brightness

Some teas are simply a pleasure to drink. Others transport you entirely — a sip, and the world quietens. JC Tea’s Lavender with Earl Grey Ceylon Tea belongs firmly in the second category.

This is a blend built on one of the world’s most beloved tea traditions — Earl Grey — elevated and refined with the addition of delicate lavender flowers, creating a cup that is at once familiar and beautifully distinct. Rich, aromatic, calming, and alive with character, it has earned its place as one of JC Tea’s most cherished and top-rated blends.

 The Blend: Three Layers of Perfection

At the foundation is Ceylon FBOP 1 black tea — Fine Broken Orange Pekoe, grade 1. This is a premium grade of Ceylon black tea, prized for its clean, bright infusion, consistent quality, and full-bodied character. Sourced from the high-altitude gardens of Sri Lanka, it brings the reliable richness and gentle strength that makes Earl Grey the globally celebrated cup it is.

To this, we add bergamot — the sun-kissed citrus fruit whose cold-pressed rind oil has been the defining characteristic of Earl Grey tea for nearly two centuries. Bergamot contributes a bright, zesty, slightly floral citrus note that lifts the entire cup and gives it its signature warmth and personality.

In the Cup

JC Tea’s Lavender with Earl Grey Ceylon Tea brews to a beautiful soft copper colour — warm, clear, and inviting. The aroma alone is an experience: bergamot and lavender rise together from the cup in a fragrant, uplifting cloud that sets the tone for every sip. The flavour is layered and nuanced — the full-bodied depth of Ceylon black tea forms the base, bergamot brings brightness and a lively citrus edge, and lavender adds a gentle, calming softness that carries through to a smooth, lingering finish. High in caffeine, yet deeply soothing in aroma and character — this is a tea of beautiful contradictions, balanced to perfection.

Wellness Benefits

Beyond its extraordinary flavour, this blend offers meaningful wellness properties drawn from each of its three key ingredients:

• Mood-lifting & stress-relieving — lavender is widely recognised for its natural ability to reduce anxiety and promote calm and relaxation
• Promotes better sleep — lavender’s calming properties make a lightly brewed evening cup a wonderful pre-sleep ritual
• Rich in antioxidants — Ceylon black tea is a strong source of theaflavins, thearubigins, and polyphenols that support overall health
• Supports heart health — regular black tea consumption is associated with cardiovascular benefits
• Relieves headaches — both lavender and bergamot have traditional associations with headache and tension relief
• Boosts mental alertness — the caffeine in Ceylon FBOP 1 provides reliable, clean energy and mental focus
• Antimicrobial properties — both bergamot and lavender have natural antimicrobial qualities that support immunity
• Aids digestion — bergamot has long been used in traditional medicine to support digestive comfort
• Uplifts the senses — the aromatic combination of bergamot and lavender has a natural, evidence-backed effect on mood and wellbeing

A Tea for Every Occasion

This blend is as versatile as it is beautiful. It is a sophisticated morning cup that awakens the senses without overwhelming them. It is a refined afternoon tea, perfect for a quiet moment alone or for entertaining guests who appreciate something above the ordinary. And brewed a little lighter, with its lavender front and centre, it makes an exceptionally calming evening ritual.
