Sweet Lavender Vanilla Tea | Tea Bags

Black tea, lavender flower buds, roasted chicory, rose petals, and natural vanilla flavour — five ingredients in a biodegradable transparent pyramid bag. The blend is the tea bag version of Chayam's Lavender Vanilla loose leaf tin, offering the same indulgent character in a convenient no-infuser format. The lavender and rose petals are visible through the transparent bag before brewing.

Rich, creamy, and deeply floral — reviewers consistently describe it as a dessert in a cup. The lavender gives it a distinctive perfumed quality that is aromatic without being overwhelming. The vanilla adds natural sweetness and a smooth creaminess that makes it feel genuinely indulgent. The roasted chicory adds a subtle coffee-like depth that rounds out the sweetness and gives the cup body. The black tea provides a bold, structured base that makes the whole thing feel satisfying rather than thin. One reviewer described it as "the perfect dessert to end a meal — no calories, no guilt."

Each ingredient contributes distinct wellness benefits. Black tea provides theaflavins and thearubigins — antioxidants that support heart health, gut health, and sustained energy through caffeine and L-theanine. Lavender's linalool activates GABA receptors that reduce anxiety and promote calm — the calming effect comes through both drinking and inhaling the steam. Rose petals contribute vitamin C and antioxidants that support immunity and skin health. Roasted chicory is a rich source of inulin — a prebiotic fibre that supports beneficial gut bacteria. Natural vanilla has antioxidant and mood-lifting properties through its aromatic compounds.

Yes — lavender's linalool has well-documented anxiolytic properties. Multiple studies have found that exposure to lavender aroma and consumption reduces heart rate, lowers anxiety, and promotes a calm, settled state. The black tea's L-theanine independently promotes relaxed alertness. Together they create a calming effect that makes this an excellent evening wind-down ritual. Because the black tea base contains moderate caffeine, it is best drunk at least two hours before bed for people with caffeine sensitivity — though most people find the overall effect calm enough for evening drinking.

Yes — the black tea base in this blend pairs well with milk. Adding a small amount of milk softens the lavender's intensity and amplifies the vanilla creaminess, making it even more of an indulgent dessert-like experience. Oat milk works particularly well for a dairy-free option. Add milk after steeping rather than before for the best flavour extraction.

Early evening is the sweet spot — after dinner when you want something warm and indulgent without reaching for actual dessert. The floral, creamy character makes it a natural complement to sweet foods or a standalone treat after a meal. Many reviewers use it as a nightly ritual to signal the end of the day. It also works in the afternoon as a mood-lifting break — the lavender aroma is uplifting and calming simultaneously.

The ingredients are identical — black tea, lavender, roasted chicory, rose petals, and natural vanilla flavour. The tea bag version offers convenience: no infuser needed, consistent strength every cup, and individual wrapped bags that are easy to carry and travel with. The loose tin gives a richer, more nuanced cup because the larger leaf pieces have more room to expand and release their oils, and you can adjust the quantity to your preference. For daily drinking at home or work the tea bags are ideal; for a special cup where you want maximum flavour and aroma, the loose tin is the step up.

People with known allergies to lavender, vanilla, or rose should consult their doctor before drinking. The blend contains roasted chicory — those with ragweed or related plant allergies should be aware that chicory is in the same botanical family. It contains no nuts, no gluten, and no dairy. It is suitable for vegans. The black tea base contains moderate caffeine — roughly 40 to 50mg per cup.
