Lavender Tea Leaf is the first born and only child of Burnt Oak and Jasmine Leaf. Following after her mother, Lavender began working at the Tea Shop as soon as she could walk and talk. She started by helping her mom grab the tea from the back room, and eventually grew up and was trusted with running the shop when her mother was away.
Lavender likes experimenting with different tea combos and trying to grow and dehydrate her own fusions; she preferred floral and herbal teas the most – they had a wider spectrum of variety possibilities. Although white, black and green teas are all nice base teas, she preferred the bright flavors of herbals and florals.. and even fruity.
To match her name, Lavender created a delicious lavender sage tea, which was very popular with Fluttershy and her family; and she helped spread the word about her new mix which helped earn Lavender her cutie mark.
When she isn’t in the Tea Shop, Lavender likes spending time in the park, and usually has to be watched or she’ll go around stealing every wild flower in the park to test new teas on. Her father, Burnt Oak, has tried to teach her to respect plantlife a bit more, and to leave some behind so they can continue to grow and populate the area; So the flowers will be there for future generations to enjoy too.
Now when she sees a wild flower she wasn’t to experiment with, she only takes one or too, and shakes the pollen off onto the nearby flowers before leaving.After trying birch beer in Manehatten with her parents, Lavender attempted to make a birch bark tea which ended up failing. But it did become a rather potent sobering method.
