Comments about Teavana Lavender Dreams® White Tea:

At the time I made my first ever review below I had ordered more Lavender Dreams tea. When I got it the tea was totally different!

The ingredients from the label of the previous is:
White tea, lavender blossoms, candied violets and flavoring.

In this tea there are NO other flowers or fruit much less carrots(?).

The new Lavender Dreams white tea says:
White tea, candied violet flowers, lavender blossoms, apples, raisins, papaya bits, peach pieces, orange peels, carrot slices, verbena, pink rose buds, cornflowers and passion flower blossoms.

Obviously they look and smell different and keeping an open mind, I tried a cup of this new tea.
It is ok but if I had wanted fruit flavored tea I would have ordered it.

I really, really love the original LDWT and when I e-mailed a request to return this (no problems) I asked and was told this was the new receipe. No going back. :(

Now where am I going to get this favorite of mine?

Comments about Teavana Lavender Dreams® White Tea:

I am fairly new to loose leaf teas but thanks to my sister buying my first ceramic teapot and quality Earl Grey, I rarely drink anything else but loose leaf teas. I have a nice selection going now.

Lavender Dreams has to be one of my favorite flavored teas. As does another poster I also enjoy blending it with Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls. Great with a bit of dark chocolate candy too! :)

Comments about Teavana Lavender Dreams® White Tea:

The trick with white and green tea is to not let it steep too long or use water that's too hot. I think that may be why some reviewers disliked this tea. I personally love it - Even though it is expensive I went through two bags of it in 2 months- it's that good. Just bring the water to an almost, almost boil (right before you hear the water starting to bubble), than only steep for a minute and a half to two minutes max. Adding honey helps to smooth out the taste as well.

Comments about Teavana Lavender Dreams® White Tea:

In the past simple Chamomile tea bags always relaxed me before bed. I was disappointed in this tea because it did not. In fact every night I had it I had trouble falling asleep! I will use it in the day and finish it up and resort back to my Chamomile tea.

Comments about Teavana Lavender Dreams® White Tea:

I purchased this tea from Tevana after tasting a variety of their teas my boss had purchased. The aroma and freashness was outstanding and needed very little tea for flavor.
My allergies were causing horrible congestion headaches and the meds the Dr. gave weren't helping. determined to ease my pain I read lavendar tea helps congestion.

I chose Teavana because I was impressed by their quality and I wanted to be sure I was taking something that was pure.

I also purchased the perfect teamaker and have it right at my desk. This has been a real releif for my headaches. I will continue to pass this along to other. Give the flovor a chance you can really rfell the movement in your nose.

Thank you, TEAVANA!!!!!!!

Comments about Teavana Lavender Dreams® White Tea:

I like the idea of this tea, but not really the tea itself. Bad white tea and bad lavender. I really enjoy the idea of a lavender white tea, but I think I will try blending my own at home.

Comments about Teavana Lavender Dreams® White Tea:

The aroma of this tea is unbelievably good.. and strong! Definitely a treat for fans of lavender. The tea's flavor is very true to the scent as well - rich, straightforward, and not harsh at all; rather, the finish ends smoothly. I find the aroma and flavor relaxing, but I'm not sure how much of that I attribute to the tea itself versus the psychosomatic qualities of the beautiful scent. Interestingly, when brewed, it has a purple tint. I enjoy mixing this tea with the Jasmine Dragon Phoenix Pearls - they make a delicious blend, especially if you add a teaspoon of sugar.

Comments about Teavana Lavender Dreams® White Tea:

The tea is a bit over powered by the lavender though if brewed quickly and with a bit of sugar added it can be a very soothing and tasty tea.

This tea is incredible. It is relaxing and tastes wonderful. The only drawback is that if you steep it too long or use more than the recommended amount, it gets bitter. If you brew it right you will be hooked!

Comments about Teavana Lavender Dreams® White Tea:

Ok, I only gave this three stars because it is a Lavender tea and I guess what do you expect. However, it really reminds of my laundry detergent, hand soap, shower gel, and dryer sheets. I might put the rest of it into a satchel next to my unmentionables. Also sort of reminds me of the time my grandmother washed my mouth out for cursing. Will not be buying more.
