origin: sri lanka

caffeine: strong

price level: $$$$

Our Earl Grey Lavender benefits from the addition of lavender flowers, which have a long history of medicinal, culinary and household use. For one, their sweet, floral fragrance is notably soothing, invoking relaxation. Combined with the classic blend of Earl Grey's citrus and a hint of cream, it is sure to become a quiet time favorite. Steep at 212°F for 3-5 minutes

      I gifted this to a friend for Christmas with samples of Adagio's other Earl Grey blends. She said the lavender was her favorite of them all and she loved it.

      Excellent substitute for Teavana Earl Grey Creme! Tried many other varieties to find this substitute, this is the best. I add a few drops of honey, and spoon frothed, no sugar soy milk on top.

      The lavender adds a nice floral note to a top notch earl grey

      Black tea with a hint of lavender. Works ok for cold brew.

      I just love Earl Grey. And I just really love Lavender. So this pair up is fabulous. When mine is gone I will definitely purchase more.

    • 

      I love earl grey and I love lavender, the combination makes for a tasty sip, I prefer Earl Grey bravo but this is still very nice

    • 

      Very nice combination of flowers. Sweetener and cream calm the black tea astringency down. Made for a really nice cup.

    • 

      I liked but didn’t love this Earl. It just had too much of a floral taste. I don’t mind floral notes but I don’t like it when they are too strong. If you love floral teas, check this one out!

      This is one of my favorite Adagio teas. Wonderful aroma and taste. Good hot or cold.

    • 

      A top notch Earl Grey. The addition of lavender provides a lovely soothing floral experience.

    • 

      My favorite of the Earls. Lavender's such a soothing flavor, and the vanilla/cream flavors work to take the sharp edge off the bergamot.

      This is a lovely tea with a nice hint of lavender.

      This is a wonderful earl grey with a strong lavender flavor. It makes a great latte, hot or iced. You can’t go wrong with this one!

      Lavender + vanilla and Earl Grey? Yes please. I think I like this even more than I do a plain Earl with just bergamot and no other frills.

    • MJ

      

      Oh this is an INTENSE tea. My sister got it and I tried some. Bergamot and lavender, while they compliment each other well, was just way too strong for me!

      

      This sure is an earl grey with lavender. Like, it's good! Tastes like earl grey and lavender. Pretty standard, I think.

    • SD

      

      I found this tea a bit too lavender for my liking, so if you're a fan of lavender it's probably good, but the earl grey element is less pronounced.

    • CK

      

      Very unique flavor! The lavender is pretty strong, but I like lavender. If brewed too strong, has a bit of an astringent flavor, but when brewed properly, it's delicious. Definitely recommend if you like Lavender!

    • 

      This was well balanced, with the bergamot and lavender blending nicely and neither of them overwhelming the other. The creme provides just enough to mellow both out to a smooth sip. I don't love lavender, but this was subtle and not overly floral.

    • 

      Finally an earl grey I can stomach. I love this tea in the morning!

    • 

      I'm not typically a big fan of earl grey, but this blend really works for me. The lavender is soothing and subtle, so it complements rather than overwhelms the traditional flavors.

    • 

      I generally don't like Earl grey because the flavor reminds me of Froot Loops, but I really like Earl Grey in blends. The lavender in this Earl grey helps tone down the bergamot and the floral flavor matches nicely with the citrus. This tea is jam packed with flavor, so I wouldn't recommend it for people who enjoy more subtle flavors.

      

      I've learned I much prefer the scent of lavender to the taste, at least in this context. It's creamy but still tangy, while the floral notes are somewhat muddled in the blend. It's a good example of a black floral blend but it's not my favorite.

    • 

      Soft, mellow earl grey meets lavender for a wonderful cup of afternoon tea. There's no harshness to it at all, and it's a great guide to the world of earl grey.

    • 

      None of these ingredients are ones I prefer, but they are skillfully blended to work very nicely together. If you like bergamot and lavender, this is a good blend if brewed at a lower temperature to prevent the Ceylon's bitterness from coming out too much.

    • 

      The Earl grey was softened by the lavender and cream. I added milk and sugar and it was a very nice drink.

    • 

      I love a good earl grey tea. And this was right up my alley with the lavender. It was perfect added some German rock sugar and a splash of milk. Will be my go to morning tea

      Earl grey is my favorite and this might be my all time favorite.

    • 

      This is probably my favorite tea. Its the perfect go-to, I would never turn it down. Its smooth with just the right amount of floral and sweetness. I love it with a splash of milk or I'll use it to make a London Fog.

    • 

      One of my favorites. The lavender makes this tea feel so gentle. It's like gentle forehead kisses in a cup.

      my favorite, favorite tea of all time. i wish it had more lavender flavor but it is still delicious

    • 

      I LOVE this tea. It's naturally sweet and works very well with milk or cream. This will definitely a recurring staple in my collection.

    • 

      One of my favorite teas ever. Lovely fragrance and beautiful composition make it a very decadent blend of flavors.

    • 

      Earl grey is one of my favorite teas to drink, and this version absolutely tops the charts for me

    • 

      The perfect Earl Grey for an Earl Grey latte! I love how the flavors blend together and add a splash of vanilla syrup, and steamed milk to create one of my favorite SB drinks at home.

      Not even joking, I wish I could give this 100 stars. This is my new favorite tea, I tell everyone about it, I buy it in bulk, I can't stop drinking it.

    • 

      I think I've discovered a new favorite. The blend itself is very fragrant, as it the tea itself, but it doesn't taste nearly as strong.

    • 

      Received this as part of the communiTEA tea-a-day sampler. Absolutely bowled over by the nose upon opening, intense gorgeous bergamot and florals. A lovely Earl Grey in the cup underpinned by the subtle calm of lavender but without the big lavender taste. Will be ordering more immediately.

    • 

      I'm finding that I am not a floral tea kind of person. Not the tea's fault. Just me.

    • 

      This is a really solid earl grey. It's not too strong or too bitter, but the citrus still comes through nicely

    • 

      A sample with my order, I was so surprised at how much I like this. Added a bit of milk, and the creaminess of this blend shown through.

    • 

      This tea is my absolute favorite! I've never tried Earl Grey before but it was love at first sip. Just add a splash of sweet cream coffee creamer and enjoy.

    • 

      This is my go-to tea whenever I want to feel both invigorated and relaxed early in the morning. And, for similar reasons, it makes an ideal afternoon and weekend tea, especially on a rainy day. The lavender scent rivals any candle, and the taste is flowery and bright without being sugary (note, though, that it has a nearly overpowering floral flare). Earl grey fans absolutely must try it. Perfect for springtime (or anytime, really!)

    • 

      This is really good tea, the lavender is almost overwhelming, but not quite.

    • 

      This tea is amazing! Its smooth and very flavorful!! I love it on its own but I have a recipe for a London fog tea latte (and I like the one that Starbucks makes so I gave it a try) and it calls for earl grey tea and lavender, not having lavender I thought this tea would do just fine. the latte was amazing! It was soooooooo much more flavorful than Starbucks and I know it was because of the quality of this tea! One of my all time favorites and I will be buying again and in a much bigger amount.
