French Lavender Super Blue Organic

$8.00

HERBAL TEA | CAFFEINE FREE | ORGANIC | WELLNESS BOTANICAL

Not your average lavender. Super Blue is a hybrid bred for more essential oil than standard French lavender, which means more of the compounds behind lavender's calming, sleep-supportive effects in every cup*. 

Richer fragrance and the most effective lavender we've found for people who want real calm at the end of the day, not just a pretty cup. 

Sold in 1 oz quantities. Makes 6-10 cups of tea.

  • Why does this tea work?

    Lavender has been used across Mediterranean, Ayurvedic, and European traditions for centuries to quiet the nervous system, ease tension, and reduce the low-level anxiety that makes it hard to settle at the end of the day.

    Long valued as a sleep herb, particularly when poor sleep is driven by an overactive mind.

    Also used traditionally for digestive discomfort with a stress or nervous system component, which is consistent with its broader calming action.

  • How do I use this tea?

    Pale golden, soft floral fragrance, gently sweet with a slightly herbaceous finish.

    Honey brings out the natural sweetness without masking it.

    One teaspoon per eight ounces of water at 212 degrees, steeped five minutes.

    Do not go past seven minutes or it picks up a slightly soapy edge.

    Bake it into lavender lemon cookies!

  • Can I boost the benefits of this tea?

    French Lavender + Chamomile

    Lavender quiets the mind and nervous system while chamomile supports the body's physical readiness for sleep.

    One of the most time-tested botanical pairings for a genuine wind-down cup without reaching for something stronger.

  • Who should use extra caution?

    Lavender can enhance the effects of sedative medications including sleep aids and anti-anxiety medications, so check with your doctor if you are on any of those.

    There is some evidence of mild hormonal activity, so people with hormone-sensitive conditions should use it with awareness.

    Not recommended in therapeutic amounts during pregnancy.

    If you have a surgery scheduled, let your surgical team know you have been using lavender as it may have mild sedative interactions with anesthesia.
