7 Brew Honeybee Earl Grey Tea
Honey + Lavender
Select Size
Customizations Included
There is a very specific kind of afternoon where nothing sounds right — coffee feels too harsh, soda is too flat, and plain water just will not cut it. That is exactly the kind of afternoon the Honeybee Earl Grey Tea was made for. It is floral without being fussy, sweet without being cloying, and grounding in a way that a good cup of tea just is.
What lands here is the three-way harmony between bergamot, honey, and lavender. Earl Grey already has that citrusy, aromatic personality from the bergamot oil. Layer honey on top and you get a warmth and depth that sweetener syrup simply cannot replicate — it rounds the edges of the tea rather than just dumping sugar on top. Then the lavender pulls the whole thing into something almost spa-like, herbal and soft, never overpowering. Hot is where this drink is most impressive. The steam carries all three aromatics at once and the cup smells genuinely beautiful before you even take a sip.
One heads-up: if you are the type who actively dislikes floral drinks — the kind of person who sent back a lavender lemonade once — this one might not be for you. The lavender is very much present. But if you are open to it, or already love a good floral tea, the Honeybee is one of the most thoughtfully put-together drinks on the 7 Brew menu. Add oat milk or cold foam and you are officially in London Fog territory, except warmer and more interesting.

Information for Honeybee Earl Grey Tea
What Does the 7 Brew Honeybee Earl Grey Tea Taste Like?
The first sip opens with that signature bergamot brightness — a citrusy, almost perfumed note that is uniquely Earl Grey and nothing else in the tea world smells quite like it. It is clean and assertive, and for about half a second you taste the black tea base clearly, sturdy and slightly tannic.
Then the honey arrives. Not in a sharp sugary way, but in that slow golden way that honey always does — spreading warmth across the mid-palate, rounding out the bergamot bite, adding a depth that no simple syrup could fake. Real honey sweetens differently. It lingers. And right as you finish the sip, the lavender drifts in on the tail end, a soft herbal exhale that perfumes the back of your throat gently. The finish is long and floral and genuinely lovely.
Hot, this drink is nearly meditative — all three aromatics build on each other and the steam amplifies every note. Iced, the bergamot sharpens and the whole thing becomes crisp and refreshing, with the honey keeping it from tasting thin. Add oat milk and the texture shifts completely: it gets creamy and silky, and the lavender and honey blend together into something almost dessert-adjacent. With cold foam on top, every sip pulls a little sweetness off the top before hitting the floral tea beneath.
What's Actually in the 7 Brew Honeybee Earl Grey Tea?
Ingredients may vary by location. Always confirm with your barista.
Caffeine Content
Earl Grey tea naturally contains caffeine. The caffeine level varies by the volume of tea used for each size.
How to Order the Honeybee Earl Grey Tea for the First Time
Order it hot with steamed oat milk on your first visit - that combination is the closest thing to a London Fog latte on the 7 Brew menu, and it is the format where all three flavors (bergamot, honey, lavender) show up most clearly. The steam releases the aromatic oils in the lavender and honey, and the oat milk adds a creamy sweetness that ties everything together without masking the tea. Ask for standard sweetness your first time so you can taste the intended balance before deciding to adjust.
At the window, say: "Medium Honeybee Earl Grey, hot, with oat milk." That is the entire order. If you already know you are not a big lavender person, add "half lavender" - the crew will cut the lavender syrup to one pump, which still gives you the floral aroma without it dominating the cup. If you love lavender, leave it as-is and consider adding vanilla cold foam on your second visit for a dessert-like upgrade.
One expectation to set: this is not a sweet tea. The honey adds warmth and body rather than candy sweetness, and the bergamot in Earl Grey is genuinely citrusy and slightly bitter in the best way. If you are coming from sweet coffee drinks, the flavor profile will feel restrained and sophisticated by comparison. Give it three or four sips before you judge it - the lavender grows on you as the cup cools slightly and the aromatics settle.
If hot tea is not your thing, iced is a perfectly good entry point too. The bergamot sharpens over ice and the drink becomes crisp and refreshing, almost like a floral iced tea with honey. Just know that the lavender is less pronounced cold, so you may want to ask for an extra pump if you want that floral presence to come through.
Pro tip: Don't be afraid to ask your brewista for recommendations — they love helping first-timers!

7 Brew is known for exceptionally smooth tea brewing, preventing the bitterness sometimes found in quick-brewed teas.
Very competitive, especially considering the premium quality of the tea and syrups used.
Mid-morning is where the Honeybee Earl Grey truly shines. The 45-55mg of caffeine in a Small or Medium provides a gentle, sustained lift without the spike-and-crash pattern of espresso drinks, and the L-theanine naturally present in black tea promotes calm focus rather than jittery energy. Pair it with a pastry or a light breakfast and you have a genuinely civilized start to the day. Early afternoon is the other sweet spot, particularly between 1pm and 3pm. The moderate caffeine is low enough that it will not interfere with sleep for most people, and the warm, floral-honey character of the drink has a naturally calming quality that takes the edge off an afternoon slump. This is the window where a lot of regular Honeybee customers order it - after lunch, when they want something soothing but still need to stay alert through the rest of the workday.
