Tea Review - Edition I

Imaging being smothered by bales of dried lavender…until you feel like you are totally possessed by the essence of it and you feel like lavender is all you can think and feel. Drinking Miss Rona’s Lavender (with Jasmine Green) Tea is a pretty similar experience. It can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on how much lavender you can take and if you are into strong smells or subtle hints of fragrance. I got introduced to the tea from a friend who couldn’t stand the intensity of lavender. It does feel like you are drinking pure lavender but the green tea and the jasmine fragrance do a little bit to assuage a complete onslaught of lavender. I would brew these bags usually for about 3-4 minutes in hot water that I would keep for a minute before adding the tea bag. I rebrew the bags atleast twice after the first use, but with slightly longer steeping time each go-around. It would make me feel like my body and the fluids in it are turning into lavender and I frankly loved the feeling. It combines the antoxidant properties of the green tea with the calming nature of lavender and is perfect if you can stomach the intense (and I do mean intense) smell of lavender in the brew.
