Orange and lavender is such an interesting combination! I smelled the orange more than I tasted it and the lavender was a bit strong for my preference. I also found the base tea to be a bit astringent; maybe it would have benefitted from a shorter steep? All in all, not my favorite, but it was still a fun blend to try.
Flavors: Astringent, Floral, Lavender, Orange

I was introduced to loose leaf tea by a roommate in 2012, but it wasn’t until I stumbled upon Steepster in 2014 that I discovered a world of tea that went beyond Teavana and the grocery store.
My tastes continue to evolve, but black tea is currently my favorite. I am especially drawn to strong, malty breakfast blends to wake me up in the morning and flavored dessert teas to sip throughout the day.
Just about everything in my cupboard is available to swap, so feel free to ask!
