I do not normally buy many herbal tisanes but this one intrigued me. I think it is because I love the smell of the lavender oils my wife uses around the house. Oh, and the beautiful purple liquor in the picture on the Harney website!

That said, my brew turned out green! I was a bit disappointed by that. :(

The drink itself is very good. Naturally, one first notices the lavender aroma and flavor. Behind that, though, I am also tasting a chamomile flavor and a slight sweet mint note—reminding me of a brewed peppermint tisane. The combination of these flavors makes this a wonderful drink to have right before bed. It is quite calming as expected.

I am glad I bought the sample and will likely purchase another shipment of this sometime. I won’t drink it regularly, I’m sure, so I can’t imagine buying a whole tin of it, but it is good to have a small quantity on hand for those occasional evenings when I am in the mood for it.

Flavors: Floral, Lavender, Mint, Peppermint, Sweet

Boiling 6 min, 0 sec 2 tsp 12 OZ / 354 ML

It is great mixed with tulsi on high stress days, and mixed with other teas just for a change!

Oooh, I will definitely have to try that—thank you! Do you have a specific tea that you recommend for a mixture?

I use bulk tulsi from our local health food place with great success.

I, too, buy loose tulsi in bulk. I like how the tulsi tames tension and the lavender tames tulsi! Lavender mixes with Earl Grey teas pretty well. Experiment and have fun!

Thanks, ashmanra and gmathis! I will be making a trip to our local health food store and will look for tulsi. I’ve never had it so I am insterested in trying the mixture. Thank you both for the recommendation!

Husband and father. Librarian. Soccer fan.

My tea habits generally depend on my mood and the season but, in general, my preferred teas are black teas, especially those grown in Sri Lanka and India. I will occasionally drink other types, though.

Unless noted in my review, I brew my tea western style and do not use additives (milk/cream, sugar, etc.).

I am definitely not an expert when it comes to tea, so I apologize if my reviews differ from the experiences you’ve had with any of the teas I have logged.

Please feel free to contact me and let me know if you have a favorite that I have to try! :)

My grading for tea:

100: Perfect.

90, 95: Excellent.

80, 85: Very good.

70, 75: Good.

60, 65: Okay.

50, 55: Meh.

40, 45: Not so good.

0-35: Awful.
