We drank this else by itself today, instead of blending it with another tea. The base is so bright that I think it must surely be a Ceylon, and the rose is very elegant. You would think that since just one teaspoon of this blended into a pot of other tea will make its presence known, then surely it would be too floral drinking it straight. But that isn’t so, at least not for me. The rose is not overpowering, and it makes one feel like French aristocracy when drinking it. (minus the beheading, of course.)
