I love the idea of this tea, and had wanted to try Samovar for a while. if I’d known however how much lavender was in this blend, I would have passed.
Brewed, this smells so strongly of lavender, it’s a bit cloying. If you like that sort of thing, this is probably your kind of tea. Me? I sipped hesitantly. One sip and I had to dump it. While I did taste the cacao and mint at the start of the sip, the lavender quickly took over and owned me.
It seems I really overleafed this one (1 tbsp for 8 oz, even though I swear that’s what it said on the package), however for the cost involved, I’d much rather just pass this along to someone who will enjoy it more.

Lavender is so tricky – just right, and it’s the loveliest thing ever, too much, and it’s an instant pour-out.
(I had lavender and white chocolate gelato a few weeks back, and they managed to balance it just right. Nom.)
^That gelato sounds delicious!
I’ll try it, but can’t promise to love it because of the mint. :) I love lavender.
