Wild Heart

Smoky Lavender Oolong Tea

Rated 4.4 out of 5
Based on 98 reviews

Tastes Like: lavender, warm hay, peat
Feels Like: afternoon in provence

Welcome to the perfumed roads of Provence. This is an earthy lavender black tea with a whisper of smoke. The floral oolong base harmonizes beautifully with lavender blossom. A touch of smoked black tea grounds this blend in a wild garden. This tea has a rich malty flavor. Its gently slatey mouthfeel calls to mind a quiet ramble along a stone garden path in the Southern French countryside. In the distance, there’s a faint scent of a fire burning for the evening grill. A splash of milk sweetens the floral notes. It has glorious floral flavor when iced.

A tea for lovers of lavender and wild gardens.

📝 Blender's Notes

For years I've been contemplating how to give lavender that August magic. It took time and imagination because lavender is one of those potent flowers that can overwhelm other flavors.

 

I selected a full-bodied oolong tea base and a touch of smoked lapsang souchong black tea to evoke a garden bed with just a pop of lavender. This extraordinary oolong blend drinks like a black tea with light floral top notes and just a hint of smoke. Earl Grey fans will appreciate this flavor.

 

As always, I enjoy the challenge of creating a tea that will surprise and delight your senses. So, even if you shy away from oolong teas or lavender blends, or anything remotely "smoky," I hope you give this a try.

Full permission (and encouragement) to explore the variations of flavor this gorgeous blend has to offer. Try a splash of your favorite milk. Give it a kiss of honey. It's also phenomenal iced.

 

I can't wait to hear what you think of this blend.

Amazing as an Iced Tea!

This is a revision of my first review, as I had tried it in colder months. Now that it's summertime, and so hot, I decided to use it for iced tea.... AMAZING! A completely different experience from hot tea, and one so impressive, I wanted to share my revised sampling opinion. Something about the lavender and the slightly sweet is a perfect blend with a big glass of ice!

Wild Heart makes my heart wild, but in a gently thrilling way!

This is just the smoothest, tastiest tea for my quiet mornings before the sun rises. I hurry to feed the cats because I'm so looking forward to my morning pot of tea with my silky soy creamer. It absolutely starts my day off just right. The scent, the taste, and the warmth of it make mornings my favorite time of day.

Not for me

It's not bad, it's just not for me. I steeped it the recommended amount of time and it was weak. So I over steeped it but it was too much lavender. But I think I'm going to grind it and make short bread cookies with it

So yummy!

This was a total winner for me! The amount of smokiness is just perfect. You know when you sit by a campfire and your clothes still have that smell the next day? That’s my favorite thing ever and that’s what this tea feels like to me. This tea is going into my rotation.
