Ingredients: Lavender
Lavender has been used by humanity for a long time. The herb was so popular with the Romans that it was quite common to spend a whole month's salary on a pound of lavender.
In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, our Lavender tea offers you a moment of calm and refreshment, a reminder of the calming fields of lavender blooming under the sun. Treat yourself to this delicious treat, a tea that not only tantalises the taste buds, but also soothes the soul.
At the first sip of our Lavender tea you will experience a smooth, sweet taste, almost like the feeling of a warm summer breeze. It has a subtle spicy undertone that contrasts with the predominantly sweet taste, a perfect balance that heightens the sophistication of this tea. It's neither overpoweringly strong nor fading light, but stays in the pleasant middle ground. The tea ends with a slightly floral aftertaste that lingers gently.
Lavender tea can be brewed mildly or strongly, depending on the desired intensity and taste preference. For a smoother taste, let the tea steep for 3-4 minutes; for a stronger taste, let the tea steep for 5-6 minutes. To brew Lavender tea, use about one teaspoon of loose leaf tea per cup and add water that has just come off the boil (95°C). This way you get a perfect cup of tea, tailored to your personal preference.
Lavender is not only known for its enchanting smell and taste, but also for its powerful medicinal properties. One of the most notable active compounds in lavender is linalool, a terpene that is responsible for lavender's distinctive scent and has sedative and anti-anxiety properties.
In addition, lavender contains a variety of antioxidants, including rosmarinic acid and other phenolic compounds, which may protect the body against harmful free radicals. These antioxidants have anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, and may help slow down the aging process.
In addition, lavender tea has other health benefits. It may help improve digestion and relieve stomach upset, thanks to lavender's antispasmodic properties.
Drinking lavender tea can also contribute to a better night's sleep, because it contains natural substances that have a relaxing effect on the body and mind.
