What Is Lavender?
Lavender tea is made from the flower buds of the lavender plant known by the botanical name Lavandula angustifolia. Lavender flowers are pale violet in colour and are famous for their vibrant purple rolling fields. These flowers contain camphor, which results in an aroma that is crisp, fresh, and piney. The taste of lavender tea is refreshing and floral with a minty finish.
Lavender tea’s nutrition facts demonstrate why this tea is so great for health. Lavender contains high concentrations of vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium, and amino acids that aid overall health. These compounds help to boost the immune system. Lavender tea is also calorie-free. That means it’s a deliciously sweet yet healthy alternative to sugary sodas.
