U.S. Wellness Naturals Organic Lavender Tea (16oz)

You get a genuinely impressive amount – reviewers consistently mention being surprised by how much lavender comes in the bag. One person noted it's 'much more than I expected' and several others mentioned the quantity lasting them a very long time. The resealable bag helps keep it fresh for up to 3 years, so you don't need to worry about using it all quickly.

It's actually quite potent for tea – maybe even more than you'd expect. The lavender has a bold, aromatic flavor that reviewers describe as sitting somewhere between mint and rosemary with woody, herby notes. The key is not oversteeping it or using too much (stick to 1-2 teaspoons per 8oz of water), otherwise it can turn bitter. That said, its strength is exactly why it's so versatile – it works beautifully for sachets, baking, bath soaks, and even infusing oils.

You'll get mostly the lavender buds, but some reviewers noted there are stems and leaves mixed in as well. It's not a dealbreaker for most uses – the stems are easy to pick out if you're making tea or using it for culinary purposes, and for sachets or crafts, they don't really matter. The overall quality is still described as fresh and organic, with that strong, natural lavender scent intact.

Absolutely. The preparation is straightforward: just steep 1-2 teaspoons in hot water, and you're good to go. Reviewers who were new to lavender tea found it pleasant and not bitter when brewed correctly. The resealable bag and clear instructions make it easy to experiment. Plus, if tea isn't your thing, you can try it in lemonade, baking, or even as a fragrant addition to bathwater – so there's room to explore without pressure.

It's certified organic by both USDA and OEFFA, so it's the real deal. Reviewers specifically appreciated the organic certification, and several mentioned the freshness and purity of the product. It's also labeled as 100% raw from an Albanian harvest, which adds to its authenticity. If you're particular about organic products, this one checks the boxes.

A couple of reviewers did mention the price being on the higher side, but most felt the value was there because of the sheer quantity (1lb goes a long way), the certified organic quality, and the versatility. You're essentially getting a multi-use product – tea, baking ingredient, craft material, and aromatherapy all in one bag. When you factor in the 3-year shelf life and resealable packaging, the upfront cost spreads out over a lot of uses.
