I’m not a floral tea fan, but I’ve been trying to push my boundaries a little, so I bought this tea. The black tea is too light for me, barely making an appearance. I think the flower was supposed to be lilac, but I guess I haven’t had that before, so all I can say is that it tastes generically floral. It’s too floral for me, but that’s just my personal preference. The cup ends up with very weak black tea overpowered by a huge floral flavor. It needs something else complementing that flavor. I added milk, which didn’t seem to do much.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a lilac tea! It seems like a very elusive flavor in general. Too bad it wasn’t more distinct in this tea for you.
Yeah, I’d definitely like to try one from another company at some point for the sake of comparison!
Simpson and Vail has a lilac tea… not sure how accurate it is, but it’s plenty floral. It’s very cheap and you can buy just an ounce of it at a time (just looked at their site.)
They sell in 1oz bags now?! That changes things!
Wow that’s crazy cheap! S&V is the best!
It seems it is only that tea available in 1oz, not a global thing. Most of their herbals, the literary teas, park teas, etc. are still only available as 4 oz… sigh.
Yeah, it depends on the tea with S&V for some reason. Some are available in all sizes. The great people at S&V are very accommodating, so if you wanted to ask about specific teas being sold with only an ounce or two, they might let you purchase them that way Mastress Alita. I have never tried it, though.
