Frequently Asked Questions
What type of lavender is used in Weir's Lane tea blends?
We use exclusively 100% pure English Lavender (Lavandula Angustifolia) in all of our tea blends. English Lavender is naturally low in camphor, providing a soft, sweet floral taste that never turns bitter or soapy when steeped in hot water.
Which Weir's Lane teas are caffeine-free?
All of our herbal tea blends—including Lavender, Ginger & Lemongrass, Lavender & Mint, Lavender, Pomegranate, Rosehip & Hibiscus, Lavender, Apple & Rosehip, Rooibos with Lavender, and Cinnamon & Lavender—are naturally 100% caffeine-free. Only our Green Tea with Lavender and Earl Grey Tea with Lavender contain caffeine.
How do I use lavender tea to make mocktails or cocktails?
To make a concentrated tea base for drinks, steep 2 to 3 tablespoons of tea in 1 cup of boiling water for 7 to 10 minutes (double the strength of a standard cup). Strain, sweeten with local honey or sugar while warm, and cool. Mix this concentrated syrup with sparkling water, tonic, gin, or vodka for floral mocktails and cocktails.
How do I use the Cinnamon & Lavender infusion in hot apple cider?
Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the Cinnamon & Lavender tea blend directly into a pot of heating apple cider (or use a tea infuser). Simmer gently on low heat for 10 to 15 minutes, strain, and serve warm for a spiced seasonal beverage.
What is the difference between Tea Tins and Tea Bags?
Our Tea Tins (5 g to 14 g) contain enough loose-leaf tea for 1 to 2 sample servings, making them ideal for tasting or gifting. Our full-sized Bags (70 g to 150 g) contain loose-leaf tea designed for daily brewing (approx. 25 to 50 cups depending on the blend weight).
Lavender is not simply a single scent. For most of us, we pick products based on both scent and use.
If using around the house (our linen spray, room spray, sachets, house cleaner ... see house collection ... then we tend to use the French Lavender (Lavandin). This is a sharp scent that is robust and so will linger longer. Sometimes we'll soften the French with a bit of English Lavender (e.g. our room spray) and if using dried flowers for decoration -- you'll find we carry both English and French lavender ... see dried flowers
When using as a cream, soap, etc. ... you can choose based on scent ... e.g. the lemony / fresh scent of French Lavender (Lavandin) or the softer / sweeter scent of English Lavender. If you are looking for a product that may have more therapeutic properties, then look for the English Lavender. Going for a hike or sitting in your garden and want to repel bugs? Then use one of our body mists with French lavender (or our outdoor mist). Wanting something for your purse with an antiseptic properties? Try one of our French lavender essences.

Interested in knowing more about the oils we use in our products? Click here to go to the page on our oils. What we commonly refer to as 'lavender' is more than one species -- there are tons of them! There is much confusion over what is and is not lavender, including sorting through the many Latin names.
The two most popular varieties are Lavandula Angustifolia (what we call 'English Lavender') and Lavandula Intermedia (what we call 'French Lavender'). English Lavender is commonly referred to as English because historically it was developed for the English perfume industry. French lavender gets its name historically as it was developed for the the French perfume industry.
Do not let these terms fool you into thinking that only English grows in England and French grows in France! To the contrary -- both are grown everywhere. Each variety has a different scent and preference is a matter of choice. Both varieties:
- are believed to help you relax, sleep, relieve body aches, relieve anxiety, and may encourage blood flow.
- are considered to be an antiseptic and can clean the body and the home
- can help repel moths, spiders, and other bugs
English Lavender, Lavandula angustifolia
The most popular and hardiest garden lavender in North America. Lavender species (e.g. Munstead, Hidcote, Royal Velvet, Vera) are from the "true" variety and have the most medicinal properties. This is the better lavender for cooking purposes but not all varieties work well in cooking. It has sweeter scented flowers because it contains less camphor (than French).
English Lavenders are used more for therapeutic properties and are believed to help with digestion, tension headaches, bug bites, burns, and minor skin irritations. Some of these properties have been well studied -- others have just been observed and therefore the scientific evidence is lacking.
French Lavender, Lavandula intermedia
French Lavender (Lavandin) species (e.g. Grosso, Provence, Giant Hidcote, Phenomenal) are a cross between the English Lavender and spike lavender varieties. Abrialii was a mainstay of the French industry until 1970s when it was ravaged by a disease. Grosso was discovered in 1972 and is now the dominant cultivar. Quickly emerging however is Phenomenal. The French Lavender plants are bigger plants (producing more lavender per plant). Aroma is sweet with slightly camphorous scent. The French Lavender scent is used more for its aromatic properties and considered good in cleaning products and products designed to freshen your home. Because of their high camphor content, French Lavender may help with sinus and snoring issues. It is believed that essential oil from French Lavender should not be used by pregnant women in the first trimester nor by individuals with epilepsy.
What essential oils do we offer and/or use in our products, and from where do they come? First and foremost we are a small batch producer and we care about quality! We used to grow lavender and so we know a thing or two about what makes for a good essential oil.
We source all of our lavender essential oils directly from family run farms that properly test their oils and can provide us with a consistent volume year after year. We source our hydrosols from Ontario lavender farms.
