Mmmm! This is definitely a self-care tea. I could honestly smell this one all day! The aroma stays in the cup after steeping it, and it smells exactly like a bouquet!
It tastes tart (which I am guessing is from the hibiscus), has a strong lavender element, with a slight berry note. I like this one quite a lot.
Flavors: Berry, Hibiscus, Lavender, Tart
Hello everyone!
So, how did I get into tea? I think I have always had a fascination with tea. But I really got obsessed with it after watching Avatar: The Last Airbender. I loved how Uncle Iroh used tea as a way to both practice self-care and connect with others.
I aspire to do the same through my tea endeavours.
My Favourite Canadian Small Tea Businesses: (Thus far! As I explore new tea brands, I am sure this list will grow)

My Preferred Preparation:
For black teas, I prefer the stove-top method with milk and sugar. For all other teas and herbal infusions, I usually prefer having them hot without any add-ins. However, I do like an occasional iced tea! Especially for some fruity or floral blends.
My Tea Preferences:
I enjoy flavoured teas more than straight teas; however, I do have a soft spot for traditional green or oolong teas.

It sounds like an interesting mix. Lavender and berries might not be so bad!
It is a lovely blend! :) The lavender note is most prominent. I would recommend getting it as a 25 gram bag just to try it.
