This is a very British tea – I feel like I should be drinking it at a garden party, sipping it out of fine china while I nibble on finger sandwiches and shortbread. Sadly the truth is that I’m drinking it on the couch in front of my laptop out of my ‘A Lannister Always Pays His Debts’ mug. What can you do? *shrugs *
The base is a solid, medium-strength black tea – probably a Ceylon of some kind. The lavender notes are subtle and gentle and there a hint of something citrusy in the background. Like most of Murchie’s black teas this one is best with milk and maybe a touch of sugar or honey.

Here’s a pic of the Lannister mug (unfortunately I don’t think it’s available for sale at Chapters or the HBO store any more): https://www.chapters.indigo.ca/en-ca/house-and-home/game-of-thrones-a-lannister/871001001040-item.html
I also have a Daenerys mug which is still available to buy: http://store.hbo.com/game-of-thrones-mother-of-dragons-mug/detail.php?p=524969&v=hbo_shows_game-of-thrones_mugs-and-glasses_mugs
