Tried this one cold brewed this morning and it’s just as amazing! It really helped me get up and ready during the rainy morning we had.

You really have to love violets to enjoy this tea. Luckily, I do but it’s very flowery and borderline powdery/ soapy. I recommend just 1 tsp per 8 oz

Flavors: Baby Powder, Floral, Soap, Violet

Wow… I really was skeptical about this blend because Spearmint and lavender seems like a strange combo but it was incredible. The vanilla ties everything up in a cozy bow and it’s just so comfy and luscious. The only downside was that online you have to buy 4 oz at a time but it’s still so worth it.

Flavors: Cake, Caramel, Cream, Floral, Honey, Lavender, Malt, Spearmint, Sweet, Vanilla, Wood

Preparation
Boiling 4 min, 30 sec 2 tsp 8 OZ / 236 ML

Sounds intriguing! Depending on the strength of the lavender, I may or may not enjoy this one ha ha…

Bio

My name is Gabriella but everyone calls me Gabby! I am a 20-year-old college student living in NY, majoring in History and Elementary Education. In my spare time, I post reviews and little pieces of writing on my blog, read books, play video games, write poetry, and love to cuddle up with my two-year-old hound dog Buddy.
I have interesting tea preferences, to say the least:
Definitely a mood drinker, and I tend to change my preferences often, if I have a bad experience with a specific flavor or tea type I end up avoiding it for a while, then dive back in later. I also prefer my teas plain but will sometimes make lattes.

Flavor Preferences:

Fruit: mainly melon, berry, and apple flavors are my favorites. I’m allergic to pineapple, passionfruit, and kiwi.
Dessert: Almost all flavors dessert-wise are welcome I especially love warm and comforting flavors like caramels, chocolates, cookies/biscuits, crumbles, and muffin.
Floral: I prefer violets, lavender, roses, and mallow flowers. Open to all florals, allergic to dandelions.
Spices: I love lightly spiced blends but some like the infamous Hot Cinnamon Spice is too much for me.
Herbs: My favorites are mint, rosemary, sage, thyme, and sometimes basil.
Favorite Companies:
Harney and Sons
Simpson and Vail
White 2 Tea
Plum Deluxe
Trader Nicks
Friday Afternoon

I love doing swaps and if you’re interested in anything in my cupboard let me know!
