Light and flowery, this tea is naturally sweet. It is great alone or when blended with the Go Go Goji white tea. When served hot, the natural sweetness of the tea makes any additional sweetener unnecessary. When iced, it tastes best when *slightly* sweetened. This tea is best for people who prefer sweet, light, and floral tastes. If there is a store near you, I recommend smelling it, as it smells exactly as it tastes. It is also not very fruity, which means you get to taste the white tea more and it is not overpowered by an overly sweet fruit taste. This is one of the best teas I've purchased from Teavana.

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 buy a lot of Teavana teas and I generally like them, but this is the only tea that I threw out. To me, it was like drinking a Lavender water and I was unable to enjoy the taste of the white tea. If you really want to taste Lavender and nothing else, it might suit you better, but if you really want to enjoy white tea also, I would not recommend the tea. Lavender used in this tea was pretty good quality.

Comments about Teavana Lavender Dreams® White Tea:
I am a night shift nurse in WA that hasn't been sleeping well lately. Shifting my schedule from days to nights and back again has really messed up my sleep ability. Over the past weeks I haven't been able to sleep longer than 4-5 hours of bad sleep. Enter, Lavender dreams. I drink it about 10-15 mins before I go to sleep, I am sleeping 7.5 hours a night and feel SO relaxed and rested when I wake up. Well done Teavana, now to get some more!

Comments about Teavana Lavender Dreams® White Tea:
I wanted to like this tea, I really wanted to like it, because floral teas are my favorite. For a while I had trouble sleeping, and the Tranquil Dreams tea seemed to help a bit. I adore the Tranquil Dreams chamomile and wanted another good tea to to have at night for some variation. I love the the way lavender smells, but the taste leaves something to be desired for sure. It's not just that I learned I dislike the taste of lavender but also it was the fact that lavender was all I tasted. If you like the taste of perfume.... excuse me lavender then you will like this tea.

Comments about Teavana Lavender Dreams® White Tea:
I bought this tea based on recommendation by the sales rep. Got the tea home and steeped for 2 minutes. Taste... much like water. Very disappointed. HOWEVER, add a lot of German Rock sugar, this tea ends up finding a full smooth body flavor out of nowhere. Its just too bad this tea tastes like tap water without sugar cause I tend to pick teas that taste great without sugar. This one doesn't. A good white tea of theirs that doesn't taste bad with no to little sugar is Peach Momotaro. The Lavender Dreams taste similar to a smoother sugared up inexpensive Tranquil Dream. I'm not sure I would like break the walls down to buy this expensive tea. But its not the worse thing out there. I might try the Snow Geisha as that smelled divine.

Comments about Teavana Lavender Dreams® White Tea:
I made this super strong and the color shocked me, it was black or gray. I thought I burnt the tea but I reloads the violets and lavender made the bizarre color. I doubled the amount of tea per cup, and it was way better then the recommended amount. This is not a tea for first times but those who love unique flavors.

Comments about Teavana Lavender Dreams® White Tea:
Very pleasantly surprised. This tea has a nice aroma with just a hint of sweetness. I received this as a gift. Although I have grown lavendar, I have never cared for it in foods or beverages. This was such a nice surprise. I could have taken it stronger, although I do not know how it would affect the overall flavor. It will become one of my special treats to myself.

Comments about Teavana Lavender Dreams® White Tea:
Well DONE TEAvana!! Well done indeed. I bought this for my wife, whome suffers from chronic insomnia. After having one 8 oz cup of this wonderful natural sleep aid, she slept for a full night for the first time in almost a year. I went out and bought a pound, first thing the next morning. I would recommend this to anyone who has trouble sleeping or falling asleep. As an aside. BE sure to follow the steeping directions to the letter. Any variation of either side, with regards to water temperature and/or steep time will result in an unpleasant experience. Although, it does make for a nice iced tea if allowed to cool in the chill chest!
