One of my favorites! It wasn't what I expected, but I grew to love it after a few sips and even crave it now.
I brew it at 190 F for 3 minutes, otherwise it gets bitter.
I'm not a big fan of Earl Grey and black teas in general, but this is one of my favorite teas. I love lavender and you can really taste it and smell it in this blend, and the flavor is very refined, like a fine dry wine.
I don't want to say this is a low quality tea because it is not, so I'm giving 3 stars. I do how ever give it a 1 star in what it is suppose to taste like. This tea does not taste like lavender or lime very much, it is a very disingenuous name, it has far more eucalyptus and mint flavor. They should give it a different name. Also why is there Moringa in this? That is a weird choice to add to a black tea. I was hoping for a strong lime and lavender flavor, and that's it nothing more nothing less. I will not be buying this tea again. On the plus side if you like lavender mint chamomile, this is a an excellent morning tea substitute for those flavors instead of a bed time tea. That's all, it wasn't a bad tea by any means, but please don't call this Lovely Lavender Lime , because it is not. The lavender and lime were severely friend zoned in this blend.
Cannot recommend this tea.... the eucalyptus makes it smell like cough medicine. The taste is also very odd as the combination of lime, eucalyptus, lavender and black tea just doesn't work, in my opinion. A waste of $9.03 for 50g. Save your money and buy some other tea.
