Elevate Lavender Chamomile Loose Leaf Herbal Tea

This tea is ideal for anyone who struggles with winding down in the evening or has trouble sleeping. Based on how reviewers actually use it, it's best suited for: people who want a caffeine-free bedtime ritual, anyone dealing with post-work stress, night readers looking for a calming companion drink, and people who appreciate a beautiful, aromatic loose leaf experience. It also works well for both beginners (forgiving to brew, clear instructions) and tea enthusiasts (complex blend with nuanced floral notes that reward proper temperature control).

The blend includes chamomile, lavender, lemongrass, and blue mallow blossoms. It's 100% caffeine-free with all-natural botanical ingredients. Reviewers mention that the loose leaves are visually striking — you can see the lavender flowers and yellow chamomile pieces, with the blue mallow blossoms adding visual interest. The lemongrass is probably what gives this tea its subtle lemony/citrus undertone that balances the floral notes.

The lavender and lemongrass additions make this noticeably different from a straight chamomile tea. Pure chamomile tends to be very mild and slightly apple-like, while Elevate's blend has more aromatic complexity — the lavender adds a floral depth and the lemongrass brings a subtle citrus brightness. Five reviewers specifically call out the aroma as "intoxicating" and "pleasant," which you typically don't hear about plain chamomile. The sleep benefits also seem more pronounced than chamomile alone, likely due to lavender's additional calming properties.

For Elevate's Lavender Chamomile specifically, the instructions call for 1.5 teaspoons of loose leaf per 8 oz of water at 208°F (just below boiling), steeped for 5-7 minutes. This is a forgiving tea to brew — herbal teas are hard to over-steep compared to green or white teas. The slightly-below-boiling temperature helps preserve the delicate floral notes without making the lavender taste bitter. If you prefer a stronger cup, lean toward the 7-minute steep rather than adding more leaf.

Elevate Tea recommends 1.5 teaspoons of loose leaf per 8 oz of water — that's a good standard ratio for herbal teas in general. For this lavender chamomile blend, that ratio produces a delicate, floral cup. If you're making a larger mug (12-16 oz), scale up to about 2-2.5 teaspoons. Brewing iced? Use double the leaf amount (3 teaspoons per 8 oz) since the ice will dilute the flavor.

Yes — the product is specifically marketed for both hot and iced preparation. For iced, you'll want to brew it stronger than usual since the ice will dilute the flavor. Try doubling the leaf amount (about 3 teaspoons per 8 oz), steeping at 208°F for 7 minutes, then pouring over a full glass of ice. The floral lavender and lemongrass notes actually translate beautifully to iced tea. It makes a refreshing caffeine-free option for warm evenings when you still want that relaxation effect.

Elevate states you'll get about 25 cups from the 2 oz pouch, based on using 1.5 teaspoons per 8 oz cup. That works out to roughly a month's supply if you're having one cup per evening. If you use a bit less leaf per cup or brew it slightly weaker, you might stretch it a few cups further. Reviewers mention the 16-month shelf life too, so you don't need to rush through it.

This is an excellent beginner loose leaf tea. It comes with clear brewing instructions (1.5 teaspoons per 8 oz, 208°F, 5-7 minutes), and herbal teas are the most forgiving type of loose leaf — you won't get a bitter, ruined cup if your timing or temperature is slightly off. The resealable pouch with a see-through back makes storage simple. And since it's caffeine-free, there's no pressure about brewing at a specific time of day. The approachable floral flavor also isn't challenging or acquired-taste territory.

The loose leaves are genuinely beautiful — reviewers specifically mention the visual appeal. You'll see a mix of lavender flowers, yellow chamomile pieces, and blue mallow blossoms in the blend. The resealable pouch has a see-through back so you can admire the leaf quality before even opening it. The brewed tea has a light, golden color typical of chamomile blends. The visual experience is actually part of what makes this feel like a relaxation ritual rather than just making a drink.

The pouch has a 16-month shelf life, which is generous for loose leaf tea. The resealable packaging helps maintain freshness between uses. At one cup per day, the 2 oz pouch gives you about 25 cups — roughly a month's supply. So you'll go through it well before the shelf life becomes a concern. Just make sure to seal the pouch tightly after each use and store it away from direct sunlight and strong odors to preserve that signature floral aroma.

Chamomile and lavender together create a powerful relaxation combo. With Elevate's blend specifically, reviewers consistently report two main benefits: effective stress relief after work and genuinely improved sleep. Several customers mention sleeping through the entire night after drinking it, with one noting improved sleep after just three consecutive days of use. The caffeine-free formula means it won't interfere with your natural sleep cycle, making it ideal as a before-bed ritual.

True herbal teas — made from herbs, flowers, and botanicals rather than the Camellia sinensis tea plant — are naturally caffeine-free. Elevate's Lavender Chamomile is 100% caffeine-free, which is one reason it works so well as a bedtime tea. The blend contains chamomile, lavender, lemongrass, and blue mallow blossoms — none of which contain caffeine. This makes it safe to drink in the evening without worrying about disrupted sleep.

The evidence for this specific blend is encouraging. Chamomile has been studied fairly extensively for sleep and relaxation benefits, and lavender aromatherapy has documented calming effects. What's compelling about Elevate's Lavender Chamomile is that real customers back this up with specific experiences — multiple reviewers report sleeping through the night, effective stress relief after work, and genuinely improved relaxation. One reviewer noticed better sleep after just three consecutive days. It's not a miracle cure, but for evening wind-down and sleep support, the reviews suggest it genuinely works.

If you don't have an infuser, you can absolutely still brew Elevate's loose leaf blend. The simplest method: add 1.5 teaspoons of tea directly to your mug, pour in 208°F water, steep 5-7 minutes, then strain through a fine mesh kitchen strainer into another cup. Alternatively, you can just let the leaves settle to the bottom and drink carefully — herbal tea leaves are large enough that they mostly stay put. A French press also works perfectly for loose leaf tea if you have one.

If you're feeling unusual after herbal tea, a few things could be happening. With a relaxation blend like Elevate's Lavender Chamomile, you might simply be feeling the calming effects kick in — the combination of chamomile and lavender is genuinely sedating for some people, and reviewers confirm this tea is effective at promoting drowsiness. That "weird" feeling might just be deep relaxation if you're not used to it. However, if you experience itching, swelling, or stomach upset, you may have a sensitivity to chamomile (especially if you're allergic to ragweed or daisies). In that case, discontinue and consult your doctor.

For most people, lavender chamomile tea is very gentle and well-tolerated. Elevate's blend is caffeine-free with natural ingredients — chamomile, lavender, lemongrass, and blue mallow blossoms. That said, if you have allergies to plants in the daisy family (ragweed, marigolds, chrysanthemums), chamomile could potentially trigger a reaction. Chamomile may also interact with blood-thinning medications and sedatives, so check with your doctor if that applies to you. Reviewers of this particular tea haven't reported any negative side effects.

Yes, this is a caffeine-free herbal blend, so there's no caffeine buildup to worry about with daily use. Many Elevate Tea customers drink it every evening as part of their wind-down routine. In fact, reviewers who used it consistently reported the best results — one mentioned that after just three days of nightly use, their sleep quality noticeably improved. As with any herbal tea, if you're on medications (especially blood thinners or sedatives), it's worth checking with your doctor since chamomile can interact with certain drugs.

For most people, yes. Elevate's Lavender Chamomile is caffeine-free and made from natural botanicals, so there's no stimulant concern with daily consumption. Reviewers who drink it nightly as part of their bedtime routine report the best results for sleep quality — one customer specifically noted that consistent nightly use for three days straight led to noticeably better sleep. Just keep an eye on any medication interactions, especially if you take blood thinners or sedatives.

Herbal tea can be soothing when you're under the weather, mostly through hydration and warmth. Elevate's Lavender Chamomile isn't specifically formulated for cold and flu — you'd want something with ginger, echinacea, or elderberry for that. However, if your illness is keeping you from sleeping, this could genuinely help. Reviewers rave about its sleep-promoting effects, and quality rest is one of the most important things when your body is fighting off a bug. The lemongrass in the blend also adds a light vitamin C boost.

Chamomile is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can benefit skin health from the inside out. Lavender also has traditional associations with skin calming. But honestly, the biggest skin benefit from Elevate's Lavender Chamomile is probably indirect: better sleep. Multiple reviewers confirm this tea helps them sleep through the night, and consistent quality sleep is one of the most evidence-backed things you can do for your skin. It's not a skincare product, but the sleep improvement it delivers could have a ripple effect on how your skin looks and feels.

For most adults, drinking a cup of Elevate's Lavender Chamomile daily is perfectly healthy and may actually be beneficial. It's caffeine-free, calorie-free, and made from natural botanicals. The chamomile provides mild anti-inflammatory and calming properties, while the lavender supports relaxation. Reviewers who drink it nightly report cumulative benefits — better sleep quality that improves over the first few days of consistent use. The only cautions are for people on blood thinners, sedatives, or those with daisy-family allergies.

If your goal is better sleep and relaxation, a lavender chamomile blend like Elevate's is a strong daily choice — especially as an evening ritual. It's caffeine-free, so there's no tolerance buildup or sleep interference. For daytime, you might want something more energizing like peppermint or ginger. But for that 7-9 PM wind-down window, this blend hits the sweet spot. Reviewers who use it daily consistently praise the calming effect, the pleasant floral aroma, and the real sleep benefits.

You actually don't want to boil the herbs themselves — that can destroy delicate flavors. For Elevate's Lavender Chamomile, heat your water to 208°F (just below a full rolling boil), pour it over the loose leaves, and steep for 5-7 minutes. The recommended range lets you control strength: 5 minutes for a lighter, more delicate cup, 7 minutes for a fuller flavor. Since this is a gentle floral blend with lavender, chamomile, and lemongrass, you don't need an aggressive steep to extract the flavor.
