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 buy Lipton's Yellow Label tea bags in the UK, but mainly in Polish food shops. My neighbour Danuta passed them on to me when she moved back to Poland.]

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?
