I was disappointed in the first steep of this tea, as it was rather bland. I tried a second steep, and actually forgot it was brewing, so it steeped a good while. It was very forgiving in that it was not bitter after oversteeping, and the blackberry was much more prominent. Overall it was just ok.
Flavors: Blackberry
I started drinking more tea about 10 years ago when I found that even my half -caf coffee was making me jittery and then sleepy after the caffeine wore off. While I started out with mostly Teavana, but soon expanded my tea cupboard to include lapsang souchon, pu-erh, Assam, and other strong black teas. I do enjoy oolongs, green, and other teas, as well as a nice tisane for an evening cuppa.
I’m not fond of jasmine or bergamont teas, though I’ll try anything once.

I love trying new tea in new places, if you see something in my cupboard you want to try, hit me up for a swap!

I bought a pouch of this tea, so I hope I will like it more :)
You could try a 5 minute steep to really bring out the blackberry out. Not much lavender here.
Note to self: try longer steeps :D Thanks for your insight Michelle
