U.S. Wellness Naturals Organic Lavender Tea (4oz)

This lavender is incredibly fragrant—reviewers consistently mention the 'very strong, fresh fragrance' that fills the room when you open the bag. It's actually potent enough that some people find it overpowers other flavors when used in blends. This makes it perfect for sachets, potpourri, and aromatherapy uses. For tea, you'll want to use it sparingly (a pinch goes a long way) to avoid an overly intense floral flavor.

Yes, you'll likely want to sift through it first. Multiple reviewers mention finding stems, small debris, and occasionally even plant matter that needs to be removed. It's a natural product from Albanian harvest, so some cleaning is normal—just pick through it or use a fine mesh strainer before brewing tea or using it in recipes. The extra minute of prep is worth it for the quality and price point you're getting.

Good news—reviewers specifically note it's 'not soapy' despite the bold floral intensity. The flavor is described as smooth and sweet with strong lavender notes. The key is brewing time: 3-5 minutes gives you a pleasant floral cup, but if you oversteep it becomes very strong quickly. Think of it as a pure, botanical lavender experience rather than a perfume-y or artificial taste.

You get a generous 4oz bag, which reviewers consistently describe as a 'large quantity' that lasts a long time. People mention using it for multiple purposes—tea, baking lavender lemonade, DIY beauty products, and sachets—and still having plenty left over. The resealable bag helps keep it fresh between uses, so you're not racing to use it all up.

Absolutely. The brewing process is straightforward (just steep for 3-5 minutes), and reviewers note it's easy to prepare with clear results. The large quantity means you can experiment without worrying about wasting an expensive product. Plus, if you find the tea itself too floral for your taste, you can easily pivot to using it in baking, lemonade, or sachets instead. The versatility makes it forgiving for beginners.

It's genuinely certified organic and food grade, which multiple reviewers specifically call out as important to them. The product comes from raw Albanian harvest and meets organic certification standards. That said, a few reviewers did mention occasional quality control issues (like torn bags or unexpected debris), so while the lavender itself is certified organic, the packaging and processing could be more consistent.
