CupofTree

CupofTree drank Lavender Dreams by Teavana

I received this tea as a gift as I normally wouldn’t buy a tea that reminds me of soap. The scent and taste of this tea is nothing to be enjoyed and I’m wondering what to do with the rest of the 2 oz I have of it. I rather stay up all night than drink it!

I don’t really understand lavender teas. I’ve tried tons of stuff with lavender and it always ruins the cup for me. Seems that this tea is a BIG hit or HUGE miss for people.

Yes, definitely hit or miss! I think its why I don’t like Earl Grey either. I wish I could develop a taste for it but I just can’t. It smells and tastes like soap to me :(

^ Agree! I just tried it the other day for the first time…had an instinctual dislike for it and never tried it (actually didn’t even know what bergamot smelled like). The moment I took my first sip I knew my instincts were right. Haha

Profile

Bio

I began my tea journey in January of this year (with loose-leaf that is) and am now completely obsessed with all things tea.

My favorite teas tend to be flavored and non-flavored black teas. Iced or hot. I have a favorite white, green, and herbal as well. I don’t like smoky teas or strong rooibos teas.

Along with tea, I also love photography and nature and combine the two as much as possible. Forests and trees are my passion and I love learning about them in and out of school.

Location

Currently in south fl where forests and tea shops are non existent. I will be moving to the Pacific Northwest for the trees, my forest studies, and perfect tea weather!
