Tea Review: Lavender Green Tea (Red Blossom Tea Company)


As described, the Lavender Green tea by Red Blossom Tea Company is a blend of lavender spikes/blossoms and loose green tea. This one has a nice, floral, almost-perfume flavor as you would expect, but the problem is that it is difficult to brew; like most green and white teas, you need to be sure to steep it in water that is not too hot, and also don't steep it too long. Unfortunately, however, if you do this the flavor of the lavender is very faint, since flowers and herbs tend to require hotter water and/or a longer steep time to bring out the flavor.
