LiberTEAS drank Lavender Matcha by Red Leaf Tea

I ordered the Lavender Matcha with a delicate level of flavoring, and it’s just right. It has a very pleasing level of Lavender. It isn’t too strong, but I can still taste the lavender. It’s really quite lovely!

At first, when I opened the pouch, the lavender seemed really STRONG to me, so I worried that maybe it was going to be too strong. And it IS strong, even at the delicate level of flavoring. But … it isn’t too strong, at least not for me because I love lavender. If you’re on the fence about lavender, though, you might find this to be a bit too much for you. If you love lavender … I’d recommend starting with the delicate level… don’t go too strong with this because I think that if the lavender was even just a tad stronger here it would be a bit too much for me.

As it is, though, I’m loving it.

It is very calming from the lavender, and yet I feel the invigorating energy coming from the Matcha. The matcha takes on a different kind of flavor with the lavender: it tastes more like a fresh, new, spring grass … sweet spring grass rather than a “vegetative, buttery” taste. The lavender has a sharpness to it which is very refreshing to the palate.

Very nice, I like this very much.

I noticed this one on the website just yesterday. I wonder if it could be a more natural “mega-cure” for migraines… Lavender and caffeine together! Worth a shot and sounds good too!

Bio

I am obsessed with tea!

I am a co-founder of the SororiTEA Sisters:
http://sororiteasisters.com

I also review teas for the Tea Review Blog:
http://www.teareviewblog.com

In addition to my passion for tea, I am also a mixed media/altered arts artist. You can see some of my art here: http://eccentricpastiche.blogspot.com

I am also a self-proclaimed foodie. I review local restaurants and the food I buy online here: http://hungryinportland.wordpress.com

My favorite teas are Yellow Teas with most Oolong teas at a close second. As far as “flavored” teas go, I love Earl Grey, Chocolate and Jasmine teas.

I also am intrigued by flavored teas with an unusual or unique flavor combination.

I don’t do a whole lot of swaps anymore, however, I do occasionally sell sampler boxes here: http://liberteas.teatra.de/ I don’t always have sampler boxes available as it depends upon how much time I have as well as packaging supplies. I usually post at least one or two sampler boxes per month, though, so if you’re interested, keep an eye out or PM me and I’ll let you know when I have some posted.

Most of the teas that I record in my notes here are going to have a fairly high rating from me. This is not because I am not discerning, but because I do not usually waste my time on drinking tea I do not care for, nor will I waste my time on writing about it.
