Lavender isn’t just a beautiful, fragrant flower—it’s a powerhouse ingredient in tea that brings calming, soothing qualities along with a delicate, floral flavor. At Full Moon Tea Company, we love incorporating lavender into several of our blends, including Secret Garden Mint, Appalachian Goddess Gray, and Hibiscus Lavender.
The Benefits of Lavender
Lavender has been used for centuries for its therapeutic properties, and here’s why it’s a fantastic addition to tea:
- Promotes Relaxation and Reduces Stress: The aroma of lavender is known to calm the nervous system, making it a great choice for evening teas or when you need a moment of calm.
- Supports Sleep: Lavender may help improve sleep quality, making it a natural companion for bedtime rituals.
- Digestive Aid: Sipping lavender tea can help soothe the digestive tract and ease mild stomach discomfort.
- Anti-inflammatory Properties: Lavender contains antioxidants and compounds that can help reduce inflammation in the body.
- Mood Enhancer: The calming scent and taste of lavender may help uplift mood and reduce anxiety.

How to Enjoy Lavender Tea

Lavender adds a serene, aromatic touch to your tea routine while offering wellness benefits that go beyond taste. Whether you’re enjoying a refreshing minty cup, a floral black tea, or a tangy hibiscus blend, lavender is the secret ingredient that makes it extra special.
