Some teas you drink. This one, you experience. Astraea Lavender Green Tea is a premium blend of whole leaf green tea and dried lavender seeds — a combination that has been used for over 2,500 years across the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and India for its calming, therapeutic qualities. The lavender brings its characteristic sweet floral aroma — instantly soothing — while the green tea provides a clean, vegetal base that grounds the blend and keeps it from ever feeling too perfumed or heavy. The aroma alone is enough to slow you down. A bouquet of vegetal and floral fragrances with lavender sitting at the heart of it — subtle on first pour, and unmistakably present as the cup steeps. The taste is mild and mellow, with the lavender as a gentle undernote rather than a dominant flavour. Calm in a cup. Lavender is well known to induce relaxation, ease anxiety, reboots the nervous system, and support better sleep. Combined with the antioxidant properties of green tea, this blend is one of the most genuinely restorative cups in the Astraea range. Perfect after dinner, or right before bed. Comes in Astraea's signature black square tin with a soft purple lavender accent — as calming on the shelf as what's inside.
