A well meaning coworker got me a cute little 6 sachet tin of this for Christmas. I am SO picky about earl grey and lavender usually tastes soapy to me :(
It wasn’t as bad as I expected, but definitely not something I enjoy.
The tin is really kind of cool though, it reminds me of one of those old cigarette cases. If I can get the scent out of it I may reuse the tin for on the go tea stash, since it would fit nicely in my purse.

Ick lavender! At least the tin is cute, though. :)
Yeah…I feel bad for any random person in my life who thinks they can buy me some tea…to the layperson I’m a terrible tea snob :P
Me too. Not a fan of the earl, and PLEASE don’t put bubble bath, I mean lavender, in my tea!
Although it’s very nice in a bath :)
I usually hate the tea that other people buy me… :)

Aww, they tried.
I have some of those tins and they’re great for travel. Just the right size for a sample of loose leaf and some empty teabags. I’ve never had one pop open in my bag, but just in case I keep the leaf in a teeny tiny ziploc.
Try filling the tin with water and baking soda. Close. Shake. Soak. Rinse. Should get rid of the lavender smell.
Thanks for the tips Carol Who and Kaylee :)
And yes, lavender is great in the bath…just don’t want to drink it. Glad I am not the only picky one ;)
Yeah, when people ask me what kind of tea I like to try to buy me some as a gift, I usually thwart them by saying that I have way too much already (which is actually true, too).
