Learning French with Lipton's Yellow Label

The tags on Lipton tea-bags now offer gentle tea-related mottos. English on one side, French on the other. Not translations, but matching in spirit.

[Lipton's is the dominant brand of black tea across mainland Europe but not in the UK (it's much lighter than the cheap UK brands). You can find Lipton's Yellow Label tea bags in British supermarkets, but only in the Eastern European aisle. My neighbour Danuta passed them on to me when she moved back to Poland.]

1. Sip back and relax. Sirotez en toute tranquili-thé.

7. Have a sip of freshness. Une pause tranquili-thé.

The standard spelling is "tranquillité". There must be some good reason why there's only a single L in "tranquili-thé"... Can French readers explain?
