KallieBoo! Thank YOU!
I always LOVE to find different and unique/creative flavor combo’s. When I saw this one in the envelop KallieBoo! sent me – I knew I had to try it first :)
I’m glad I did! This is a neat flavor – all ’it’s own’.
It infuses to a light-medium brown. It has a mellower and not very distinct aroma but it’s pleasant enough.
The flavor makes my taste buds VERY happy! The Fig Flavor is nicely done…sweet and ‘newton-like’. The lavender is in the background – pretty but not over powerful which is appreciated. There is a hint of licorice – as KallieBoo! mentioned, I do agree.
I really like this! Nice flavor! Smooth and Creamy, too! YUM!
I was a little wary of this one given that i’m not a fan of lavender. There was just something about the smell that i wasn’t a fan of. Thanks go to KallieBoo! for sharing this one with me, though after tasting it, was not something that i can drink :) On the upside, it has peaked my interest in this tea company since the tea base and the fig taste hiding behind the lavender was quite nice. So still a win in my books! :)
thank you for this sample KallieBoo!
i am a dried fruit fanatic i will admit. like prunes and mangoes and currants and dates. all of it.
not so much a fan of lavender to be honest, but it works nicely in this blend. much better than it smells dry to my nose. once brewed it adds a whimsical or slight poetic quality to the scent but it isn’t a big deal in the flavor itself. it makes it breezy!
very fun and interesting cup. i drank my first brewed 12oz very fast. i even surprised myself!

i just felt like saying good bye to this cute tea. it has a bold yet feminine way about it that i really like. smooches little tea!
Sipdown
This is a sad sipdown! I feel sure I will order it again sometime. This has powerful aroma, heavy on the fig when dry. When steeped it is a very even blend of fig and lavender in both aroma and taste. The base – hallelujah – is strong enough to let you know you are drinking black tea and not a cup of scented water. The base is not astringent or so brisk as to require milk or sugar.
It is a supremely well done flavored black tea and worth a try if you like these flavors.
There should be more fig teas!
AJRimmer – with the fig flavor as well done as this one, I agree!
Backlog:
This tea smells amazing. I love lavender, and while lavender and fig are two flavor profiles I would have never thought to blend together, this works. This just may be the best fig tea I’ve tasted yet. I like the way the lavender and fig taste together.
This one made my repurchase list, and it’s not often that I come across a tea that belongs on that list.

I thought you’d like this one! It’s very different.
