Comments about Teavana Lavender Dreams® White Tea:

I wasn't happy with this. It was incredibly bitter and the flavor just didn't do it for me. I bought it for the relaxation before bed, but still prefer the tranquil dreams.

Comments about Teavana Lavender Dreams® White Tea:

My all time favorite tea has been Lavender Dreams,it's very soothing and relaxing. A perfect blend after a long day. I've always recommended it to friends and have given it as a gift numerous times. I was very disappointed to see that the recipe had changed and even more disappointed when I tried it! The new blend has carrots, peaches, papaya,apples & raisins. I can't help but wonder what they were thinking changing the recipe and adding not only all the fruits but additional flowers. The great thing about the original was the simple and mellow flavor of white tea with lavender and a little bit of candied violets. This new blend is a huge DISAPPOINTMENT! It's too much of a fruit tea with florals....BUMMER!!!

Comments about Teavana Lavender Dreams® White Tea:

For the price...this is not my favorite. Although it is good, it reminds me of my lavender bath products. Like all Teavana teas, the quality and wonderful but I would rather purchase other teas from Teavana. I prefer a fuller-bodied, fuller-flavor tea...so this is why I may not have gotten too excited about this one. It is a good one to have on hand, however if you want a cup of tea before bed. It doesn't contain caffeine. I am glad I tried it (and drank it all up), but I will not be buying more of it.

Comments about Teavana Lavender Dreams® White Tea:

What I love about lavender are the soothing and calming effects it has on the body and mind. I love drinking white tea before I go to bed each night. So when I found Lavender Dreams, I thought that I had found my perfect nighttime tea. I'm not sure if it is because I have grown accustomed to the lavender scents I use in my lotions and essential oil blends, but when I opened the Lavender Dreams package I became frightened. I thought, "How am I going to drink this?" because I associate the scent of lavender with skincare products and perfume. The fragrance of this tea is a bit overwhelming for my taste. I love lavender, but I guess I would rather not have it in my drink. It is not bitter, nor is it very sweet. The carrot and papaya pieces help balance the floral notes of lavender and violet (personally, not enough for me).

Receipe changed - not for the better

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.

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.
