Apsogo Organic Greek Lavender Dried Flowers

This Greek lavender does include some stems and leaves along with the buds—it's not exclusively flowers. Several customers mention this, though most don't consider it a dealbreaker given the potency and price. If you're looking for something purely decorative or need pristine buds for presentation, you might be disappointed. But for tea, sachets, or culinary use where you're steeping or blending anyway, the mix works just fine.

This is seriously potent lavender—almost everyone mentions the 'very strong' fragrance and flavor. A little goes a long way here. Think of it more as a botanical ingredient than a drink-it-by-the-cup tea. Customers have success using just a pinch in herbal blends, making lavender syrup, or steeping small amounts for a concentrated infusion. If you use too much, that earthy, camphor-like medicinal note can overwhelm. Start small and adjust up.

Greek lavender tends to have a more medicinal, camphor-like quality alongside the floral notes—it's earthier and mintier than the sweeter, more delicate French lavender most people know. Several reviewers specifically mention this 'earthy' and 'minty' character. If you're expecting that soft, perfumy French lavender vibe, this might surprise you. But if you're into herbal medicine or want something with more complexity for blending, that bold Greek profile is exactly what makes this interesting.

Yes, especially given how potent this lavender is. Eight customers specifically called out the 'large quantity' and 'generous bag size' as a standout feature. Since you only need a small pinch per use—whether for tea, baking, or sachets—this bag goes a long way. It's resealable too, so it stays fresh. A couple people thought it seemed pricey at first glance, but once they realized how much they were getting and how little they needed per use, the value made sense.

This is genuinely versatile. Customers report success using it for lavender simple syrup, baking (cookies, shortbread), infusing honey, making sachets, and of course tea blends. The organic certification gives people confidence for culinary use, and the strong flavor means it holds up well in recipes. Just remember that potency—you'll want to start conservatively when experimenting in the kitchen so you don't end up with an overpowering floral or medicinal taste.

Not really—and customers are pretty upfront about this. Several mention the brownish, faded color and say it's not the most visually appealing. If you're planning to use this for something where appearance matters (like decorative sachets as gifts or garnishing fancy desserts), you might be disappointed. But if you're after fragrance, flavor, and potency for functional use, the look doesn't matter much. Think of it as a workhorse lavender, not a showpiece.
