Lavender Gelato provides all the soothing flavour of a lavender Earl Grey, without the caffeine.
Traditionally, lavender is believed to help relieve stress and aid in digestion, making this a great after dinner treat. Alternately, brew this infusion extra strong and pour over ice for a thirst quenching summertime favourite.
Tasting Notes: Woodsy flavours of rooibos with a slight hint of peach and a rounded smoothness. Bergamot and lavender are a perfect match, the perfume of citrusy bergamot and herbaceous, floral lavender linger on the palate; a well-rounded cup with no astringency.

Lavendar Gelato Review by ['Marita']
Love, love, love this tea. So sad that there are no stores here in Alberta. Great tasting, and leaves you feeling calm and relaxed.
Posted on 2024-09-25This tea is brilliant! Review by ['Happy Cat']
I'm so happy that I found this tea! I've loved Murchie's teas for decades, but I've gotten very intolerant of caffeine in recent years. I've really missed my Earl Grey, in particular. This tea satisfies my craving perfectly! I just wish it was called 'Earl Grey Rooibois' so I could have discovered it sooner!

I don't know how Murchie's managed it, but this tea really does taste like lavender gelato - or perhaps lavender buttercream on an Earl Grey cupcake? It's creamy, slightly sweet and so relaxing to drink - I have it in the evenings and it's the perfect way to end the day.

It tastes like black tea, but without caffeine, so you can enjoy it at any time of the day. It has aroma of lavender and citrus. Due to the delicate aroma, it might be good to brew it with a lower temperature than people ususally use to brew rooiboos.

Posted on 2021-03-19Our very favourite tea Review by Bootle
I grew up in Vancouver so our whole family have always bought our teas at the wonderful Murchies. Living in London and Dublin for 30 years still this is by far my favourite tea after my sister and mum introduced me. It’s so well balanced with the perfect amount of bergamot - it really is like a Rooibos Earl Grey with a slight hint of lavender. Gorgeous any time of the day or night, on its own or with a touch of milk.

I'm sorry, but I just didn't like this one at all.. I like Rooibos, but not this one. I didn't get the lavender. Is there any way your customers can taste before they buy? ;-) I LOVE your Earl Grey Cream!!!! Thank you Murchies!

This tea is very fragrant but not so much that you'd rather sew it into a sachet than drink it. It's nicely balanced and needs no sweetener to bring out the flavor.

Steeping the Best (Guide)
Different types of teas should be steeped according to certain times and water temperatures to bring out their best flavours. Use this guide as a starting point, and then experiment until you find the perfect brewing method for your favourite tea.
Based on approximately one level teaspoon (2.5 g) of loose tea or one tea bag per 6-8 ounce (180-240 mL) cup. For stronger flavour, add more tea. Brewing for longer may increase the strength of the tea, but will likely also cause bitterness.
Tea Bags vs. Loose Tea
While our tea bags and loose tea are crafted to match the same flavour profile, there are discernable effects between the two formats. Namely, the leaves inside tea bags is milled, making it much finer and a quicker brew, while loose tea can take a couple minutes longer to steep. Tea bags are very convenient, but loose tea can be more visually appealing and brewed with a reusable infuser.
- Tea bags: steep for 3 - 4 minutes
- Loose tea: steep for 4 - 5 minutes
General Steeping Temperatures
The table included here shows some general guidelines for steeping different kinds of tea. Be mindful that some teas, even two from the same category, will brew differently than others. In particular, our green-black blends will often have different ratios of green and black teas - the more green-leaning ones should be brewed at a lower temperature range. Experimentation is highly encouraged, as tea is very much a matter of personal taste.
Puerh and oolong teas are often steeped multiple times for a shorter period of time in smaller brewing vessels. This method creates a curious exploration of the tea as it unfurls, developing new flavours with each subsequent brew - often making for great social conversation.
If you're unsure, try steeping in the middle range for your tea type. If the result is too bitter, steep at a lower temperature or for a shorter time. If the result is flat, try a higher temperature.
