Why so much Lavender?

The "Harmony" blend is designed with lavender as the dominant component, and there’s a deliberate reason for that, despite lavender’s potential to overpower other flavors. Let's break down how the balance works, particularly when considering our Chef Heart grinding process, which elevates the blend by allowing the oils to mingle and create a unified, nuanced profile.

Flavor Profile and Balance Explanation (weight is per ounce)

1. Lavender (17 grams): Lavender is indeed a strong flavor, but in the context of this blend, it serves as the primary note that carries the essence of tranquility and the connection to nature. By using a higher quantity, we ensure that the calming and floral notes of lavender are present throughout the entire tasting experience. However, lavender’s sharpness will be tempered by the other ingredients, especially after grinding, where the oils blend to soften its intensity.
2. Golden Turmeric (14 grams): Turmeric adds an earthy, slightly bitter undertone that balances the floral sweetness of lavender. The golden hue and subtle warmth of turmeric provide a robust base that grounds the blend, preventing the lavender from becoming overwhelming. This combination is especially effective once ground, as the interaction of lavender's floral notes with turmeric’s earthiness creates a harmonious middle layer.
3. Warm Cinnamon (11 grams): Cinnamon introduces warmth and a touch of sweetness, acting as a bridge between the floral notes of lavender and the earthiness of turmeric. The spice adds depth and complexity, rounding out the flavor profile. Upon grinding, cinnamon’s aromatic oils meld with the lavender, reducing the sharpness and adding a cozy, comforting element to the blend.
4. Honey Powder (8 grams): Honey powder subtly sweetens the blend without overpowering the other spices. It enhances the natural sweetness of lavender and cinnamon, creating a smooth transition between the floral, earthy, and warm notes. The grinding process allows honey’s sweetness to intermingle with the oils from the other spices, resulting in a soft, balanced sweetness that lingers on the palate.
5. Peppermint (6 grams): Peppermint adds a refreshing and vibrant top note that contrasts beautifully with the deeper, more earthy spices. It lifts the blend, adding a burst of freshness that prevents the blend from feeling too heavy or one-dimensional. When ground, peppermint’s cooling effect will interact with the floral and warm notes, creating a final layer of complexity that lingers after the initial taste, ensuring the blend unveils itself in stages.

The Fifth Element: Synergy of Ground Spices

Your process of grinding the spices is key to achieving a "fifth element" in the flavor profile. By grinding, the essential oils from each spice are released and mixed, which creates a new, cohesive flavor that is more than just the sum of its parts. This mingling of oils allows the lavender to mellow and integrate with the other spices, preventing it from dominating the blend. Instead, it becomes the initial note that introduces the blend, followed by the warm, earthy, sweet, and refreshing elements that unfold gradually.

This systematic unveiling ensures that each spice plays its role in creating a balanced experience, where no single flavor overpowers the others. The result is a blend that starts with the serene and floral lavender, moves through earthy and warm middle notes, and finishes with a refreshing and sweet aftertaste—a true harmony of flavors that reflects the essence of the Okanogan Valley.
