STEVEN SMITH TEAMAKER Black Lavender Lady Grey Tea Sachets, 15 Count — Plant-Based, Microplastic-Free

Black Lavender Lady Grey is a caffeinated black-tea sachet blend from STEVEN SMITH TEAMAKER that pairs fragrant French lavender with Ceylon and lapsang souchong for a layered, tea-room-style cup.

This single-serve box contains 15 plant-based sachets crafted to deliver a nuanced balance of floral, fruity, and smoky notes. Formulated as a modern take on the classic Lady Grey, the blend layers black currant and vanilla with full-leaf black teas, producing tasting impressions often described as creme brulee, leather, and ripe berry. Each sachet is microplastic-free, designed for home steeping or travel, and uses sustainably grown whole-leaf teas processed in smaller artisan batches for a cleaner flavor profile than mass-produced offerings.

What flavor profile should I expect from Black Lavender Lady Grey?

The cup opens with a gentle lavender fragrance and a hint of sweet vanilla before the character of the black teas arrives. Ceylon provides brisk, bright citrus edges while lapsang souchong contributes a subtle, savory smoke that deepens the finish.

• Top notes: floral French lavender and sweet vanilla
• Mid-palate: fruity black currant and full-leaf Ceylon body
• Finish: light lapsang souchong smoke with creme brulee-like richness

How should I brew these sachets for the best cup?

Use water just off boil (about 200–205°F / 93–96°C) and steep for 3–4 minutes to capture the blend’s layered flavors without over-extracting bitterness. Adjust steep time slightly shorter for a brighter cup, or longer for more body and smoky depth.

• Water temp: 200–205°F (93–96°C)
• Steep time: 3–4 minutes, personalized to taste
• Serving ideas: drink black, or add a splash of milk and a touch of sweetener

Are these sachets sustainable and travel-friendly?

Yes—each sachet is made from plant-based material and contains no microplastics, reducing environmental impact compared with many conventional tea bags. The compact 15-count box fits easily into luggage or a work drawer for a reliable brew away from home.

• Sachets: plant-based, microplastic-free construction
• Leaves: sustainably grown full-leaf teas in small-batch lots
• Packaging: compact box for on-the-go convenience

How does this blend compare to traditional Lady Grey teas?

This variant keeps the bright citrus and delicate floral cues of Lady Grey but amplifies lavender and black-tea complexity. With whole-leaf Ceylon and a smoky lapsang touch, it reads richer and more layered than lighter bergamot-dominant renditions.

• Similarities: floral-citrus backbone reminiscent of Lady Grey
• Differences: stronger lavender presence and added smoky, creamy notes
• Intensity: medium-bodied with a pronounced aromatic finish

Who is this for? Black Lavender Lady Grey suits anyone who enjoys floral-forward black teas with depth—tea enthusiasts who appreciate whole-leaf quality, travelers needing single-serve convenience, and drinkers who like a cup that can be taken plain or dressed with milk and sweetener. If you favor aromatic, nuanced teas with sustainable credentials, this STEVEN SMITH TEAMAKER blend is crafted to deliver consistent, layered cups whether at home, at work, or on the road.
