• "This bag/batch or possibly brand of Kate Naturals was bitter."
• "DO NOT PUT IN FOOD, it has sharp small stick things in it, its not just the lavender buds."

• "Product came already open and had poured out inside the package (and isn’t eligible for return or replacement)."
• "The heat seal was broken and they contents were spilling into the shipping envelope."
• "I went through with a tweezer and tried to get all of the 'extras' out that were not lavender flowers."

• "I’m a big believer in truth in advertising, and as you can tell from my photo the actual product looks nothing like the picture on the package."
