I didn’t rate this because I added it to A&D’s Dragonwell. It was a great blend, but I didn’t appreciate the lavender flavors. I really loved lavender sencha that I tried years ago in Hawaii and subsequently at Wegmans. I’m going to try to recreate it! :)

Of all the simples in the botanical kingdom, few hold such a place of reverence in the gardens and hearts of herbal enthusiasts as lavender.

In fact, lavender has been used for centuries to lift mood, induce sleep, and to relieve anxiety and mild depression. But, did you also know that lavender helps to clear stubborn acne, reduce arthritis pain, heal burns, and repel insects?
