Floral teas are whole flowers steeped into black, green, white, and herbal bases for fragrance that fills the room before the first sip.
Drink in the garden. Our Floral & Aromatic collection celebrates the delicate, intoxicating scents of petals and blossoms. We blend high-grade teas with organic rose petals, lavender buds, jasmine blossoms, and chamomile flowers for a sensory experience that is pure elegance. These are the teas that turn a quiet afternoon into a ritual.
Flavor is 80% aroma. When you steep jasmine pearls or chamomile lavender, you are not just making tea: you are filling your kitchen with the scent of a blooming garden. The floral notes work through scent as much as taste, which is why these blends feel particularly calming. Lavender has been used in European herbalism for centuries as a gentle evening companion. Rose and jasmine appear in tea traditions from China to Persia, prized for their ability to slow people down.
The range here spans tea types. Jasmine greens are bright and honeyed. Earl Grey and Lavender Grey blacks carry bergamot oil with floral undertones. Chamomile and Four Flowers herbals are pure botanicals, caffeine-free. White Peony is the quietest of all, a barely-oxidized leaf with a natural sweetness that needs no addition. If you want fragrance without caffeine, start with Chamomile Lavender. If you want a black tea that smells like a garden party, try Bergamot Rose.
Steep times matter with florals. Green tea bases (Jasmine Green, Rose & Green) need 175°F water and 3-4 minutes. Black tea bases (Lavender Grey, English Rose) can handle boiling water but still prefer 4-5 minutes to avoid bitterness. Herbal bases (Chamomile, Good Night) are forgiving: 5-7 minutes at a full boil. The flowers themselves release their oils slowly, so give them time.
