Rouge by Nina's Paris
The scent of the dry leaf is powerful. I do not mean overwhelming. It is powerful in the sense I really like it. It’s orange followed by cinnamon. Once steeped the wet leaf also presents its black tea aroma.
Cinnamon can easily overwhelm and orange can taste like candy. Neither is the case here. This is well balanced light cup.
Given the description of stimulate and invigorate I was expecting a big bold cup. I find it to be more of a relaxed cup. I would sip this on a lazy afternoon – like today. I find it a nice introspective cup rather than invigorating. That is not a bad thing. Sometimes I just want a peaceful cup.
Thank you Nina’s Tea for the sample.
