An opulent, sensory masterpiece engineered for an elevated ritual: our premium Versailles Lavender Earl Grey Loose Leaf Tea offers an elegant, botanical twist on traditional Earl Grey. This sophisticated blend unifies a full-bodied black tea base with the sharp, citrusy brilliance of pure bergamot and the intoxicating perfume of culinary lavender. Poured hot, it yields a deep amber liquor with an exceptional aromatic throwing power. The palate experiences a smooth, commanding structure where bright citrus top notes seamlessly intertwine with calming, aromatic floral undertones, delivering a clean, refreshing, and profoundly relaxing finish.
This blend pays historical homage to the refined tastes of Louis XIV, whose adoration for lavender famously integrated the botanical into the daily court rituals of Versailles. To replicate that level of uncompromising luxury, our tea masters select premium, ultra-vibrant French #1 Super Blue lavender harvested from the sun-drenched fields of Provence. This elite grade is meticulously tossed with premium orthodox black tea leaves and striking, sapphire-hued cornflower petals, creating a magnificent visual contrast in the dry leaf. Enhanced with organic-compliant natural flavors, the resulting extraction releases a multi-layered, harmonious scent chemistry that never overpowers the underlying malty richness of the tea base.
