Daybreak in Martinique

Lovely and peaceful, the first sip of this tea finds lemon myrtle, then a note of French lavender, and the encompassing smoothness of organic rooibos blended with oil of bergamot to elevate it to the richness of an Earl Grey. Relax with a steaming cupful, and stir in a hint of sugar to enhance it.
