La Vie En Rose Blanc Organic

White Tea by American Tea Room

La Vie En Rose is a must for anyone who loves roses. It�s a joyously sweet and enticing blend of Bai Mu Dan-style white tealeaves (a combination of silvery buds and delicate green leaves) and gorgeous, wild-harvested fuchsia rosebuds. The intense rosewater aroma of the leaves gives way to the wildly earthy-floral aroma of the flaxen brew. Flavors of fresh-cut roses, loamy earth, field grasses and rosewater reveal a bright, floral aftertaste with a delicate astringency. The effect is profoundly soothing: this is La Vie En Rose.

This tea is certified USDA organic.

Wonderful if you love roses and if you don’t—maybe this tea will convert you. This is one of the best rose-immersion experiences I have had. I think it’s on a par with Rosy Earl Grey from Teas, Etc. The rose is not competing with an Earl Grey. Sometimes I really want the Earl Grey to be the backdrop for the rose but this is a more fragrant, floral tea. I guess I will have to keep both in stock!

One of the few non-fruity rose teas I’ve had. It’s like drinking a cup of immersive rose therapy with dusky, vegetal accents from the bai mu dan. I was pleasantly surprised the white tea held its own here! It drinks like a special occasion tea to me though because the floral taste isn’t something I see myself wanting every day (but definitely paired with a box of chocolates!)

I never thought 60 degrees and sun would feel so good!

So today’s cold steeping experiment was…weird?

This tea actually crosses the line into too flowery this way! I didn’t think it could be done. It lost the delicate balance between florals and white tea and WHAM right in the perfume. A little sugar coaxed back out the white tea and made the roses seem almost…juicy and fruity. A little weird on the palette, but definitely grew on me! So, sure, I’d do it again, but definitely have some sugar handy!
