Earl Grey Lavender

My favorite tea of the moment. To bring out the oolong flavor, which I love, I like to steep it for a longer time at a lower temperature than recommended, like 6 minutes at 190 or so. It is hard to distinguish the lavender flavor from the bergamot flavor; they are beautifully married in this. And the tea base is unparalleled. I want to try more of this brand.

Full-bodied, yet wonderfully light, the award-winning black tea blends traditional earl grey with fragrant blue lavender to make a wonderful taste. This tea is great at late at night hour.

A good mild tea, but doesn’t have a very strong Earl Grey flavor.

A pretty lavender aroma balanced by a tasty blend of teas. I’m admittedly fond of both earl greys and floral teas, so I expected to like this one. Well, I do! I would recommend it to anyone who likes their earl grey without milk, as the sweetness of the lavender rounds out the bergamot. On occasion when I do want a little milk in it, I find it is best complimented by almond milk – something magical happens between the almond and the lavender… Overall this is a happy, comforting tea that I find myself craving in the colder months of the year.

I steeped it on the low end of the recommended time, because I’m not a big fan of Earl Grey (full disclosure), but I wanted something different for breakfast.
I popped in some milk and sugar, because — again — not an Earl Grey fan, and was disappointed when, instead of lavender and bergamot, I got a dominant smell of burning paint.
What? Burning paint?? This is going to be so yummy….
Um…
The taste is pretty inoffensive. I get a little bit more of that flowery herbiness on my tongue than in my nose, which is unusual.
Just tastes like airplane tea to me.
Oh well.

A little over a week ago, some of us traveled 3 hours to go to a collegiate chapter conference of VMEA. Needless to say, we left pretty early to get there by 8-9ish. They had a little continental breakfast there, and I saw a few Revolution teas in the basket, and having liked what I’ve had of them so far, I thought I’d try this one. I oversteeped it the first time, but before it had gotten to that point, I was in love. It wasn’t too overpowering in tea or bergamot, with the added bonus of a hint of lavender. Definitely a good balance for me, a fan of mild to medium strength teas. Probably my favorite Earl Grey so far. Will have to compare it next to Twinings again and reevaluate.

not very strongly-flavored, even after steeping for a while, but pleasantly mild and a little nutty.

the lavender is not overwhelming – more scent than flavour. A nice change from “plain” Earl Grey or Lady Grey.

Just tried the Earl Grey Lavender by Revolution Tea. The aroma of the tea was heavenly. But I’m finding myself a little dissapointed by the taste results. I am finding I like stronger flavored teas and this one was a little weak for me, although I did steep for at least 5 minutes. I couldn’t really taste the lavender like I hoped. It’s not bad at all! It’s just not as lovely as I was hoping it might be.

I found this by accident and I love it :) I have tried a couple other revolution teas but this one is top dog in my book.

This is my favorite Earl Grey tea! It tastes good hot or iced.

wonderful!!!!

Everything about this tea is slick. It’s packaged in a triangular patent-pending tin, and even though the name is Earl Grey Lavender, you have to read the small print to see that there’s oolong blended in too. It’s a nice surprise — I always seem to forget it’s in there until I pick up the cup.
