I’ve been having trouble sleeping lately, so I bought a bunch of tisanes from Tealyra to avoid having caffeine in the evenings. Finding things I actually want to drink has been difficult, as I’m generally not a fan of licorice or hibiscus and don’t enjoy anything that’s overly sweet. Any tisanes that don’t fall into the above categories seem to contain peppermint, and while I like minty teas, they can get a bit monotonous.
I do, however, love lavender things, and while this tea can be a bit soapy, it definitely delivers on that front. It has a pronounced lavender flavour with some earthy and herbaceous undertones. The fluffy leaves are pretty and I get four to five good steeps.
Judging from my experience with this company so far, Tealyra is a decent place to get herbal tisanes. Where do you buy your herbal and/or decaf teas in Canada?
Flavors: Earth, Herbaceous, Lavender
Have you tried Teavivre’s Buckwheat? That’s a different one. Also, Bird and Blend’s Moondrop Dreams?
Thanks! I’ve heard about Teavivre’s buckwheat tea and might pick up a sample when I order from them again. I’ll have to check out Bird and Blend’s shipping rates to Canada to see if it’s worth looking at their herbals. I don’t even bother going to U.S. vendors’ sites anymore because the shipping is so high. :(
Bird & Blend is in the UK so shipping is bad for us in the US too. haha. They have a free shipping limit, though it’s higher… I think $90? Or sometimes during a sale they have free shipping, no limit. (Their sales are only in July or Boxing Day though.)
You Americans are lucky to have so many world-class tea shops! From what I gather, shipping for Bird and Blend varies depending on the amount of tea purchased. I may have to check them out during the July sale if I haven’t given up on decaf teas by then. :)
Even I love the selection of tisanes from Tealyra, but being in the US, I have to hit their free shipping threshold when I do get them. They have a pumpkin one I like that has a creamsicle flavor profile, and I love the Lavender Lemon Potion (a lemon lavender tea… the lavender usually doesn’t “pop” quite enough for me so I add just a bit more from my stash of plain lavender buds, but it is an amazingly strong, tart lemon that I really like… but then, I’m the last lover of tart things on Steepster, heh). I’ve been drinking a lot of their chocolate mint rooibos lately, too.
I also had to hit the free shipping threshold, which I think is $60 across North America. I was thinking of getting Lavender Lemon Potion, but was concerned about how the white chocolate chips would taste with the other ingredients. I haven’t had great luck with chocolate teas, so I’m glad to hear their chocolate mint rooibos is good.
Even with the white chocolate chips, Lavender Lemon Potion is a very “on the tart side” lemon tea; unless you can’t have sugar at all for health reasons, I personally don’t think they make the tea “too sweet” myself. I’d be more concerned of those that in general can’t stand hibiscus for being “too tart/sour” probably wouldn’t like it. (as I recall, that one does have a touch of hibi in it, too… I’m the last hibi-lover on this site…)
I do see that the ingredients list of their Chocolate Mint Rooibos has changed, so I think they get a different supplier now. My bag is so old… the one I have I absolutely love. I see the ingredients still match Fusion Tea, so they must still be sourcing from the same wholesaler, while Tealyra must have changed wholesalers for that tea. So I can’t vouch for the current Tealyra formula…
