English Rose

Perfect tea to accompany a simple, straight forward short bread cookie.
The dry leaf smells enticingly of astringent black tea, fruity roses, and warm, creamy white chocolate. I used to hate the idea of adding chocolate to a tea but this is the tea that changed my mind.
I drink this with neither milk nor sugar; the white chocolate takes care of any need for sweetness or creaminess. I agree with steeping this no longer than 4 minutes, as the base does seem to go bitter quickly.

I was very excited to buy a tin of this tea after smelling it once in the past. I decided to buy a cup to try it first and I’m so glad I did- it smells and tastes wonderful but it has a greasy film on the surface and leaves a waxy dark ring around the top of your cup. It’s such a pretty delicate tea, but the film was such a turn-off. I guess it’s from the melted white chocolate, but I won’t buy it because it will be gross and messy to have that ring lining the mug every time I drink it. It reminds me of the ring around the bath tub from the Dr. Seuss book, Cat in the Hat Comes Back.

By far this is my favourite tea from DavidsTea. I am a fan of anything floral, including teas! My favourite floral tea has probably got to be rose flavoured blends though. When I saw this at the store, I didn’t even have to smell it because the name itself drew me in. As for the taste, it is very floral – some might be put off by it because it’s too “perfumey” but I love it! It’s also sweet enough that you do not have to add sweetener, unless you want to of course. I love drinking it hot, and it tastes sinful with a splash of milk and a sweetener of your choice. But without any additives, it is great on it’s own and I would definitely recommend this tea to any person who loves floral teas, especially roses! This one is a staple for sure.

It’s not for me, sadly

This is my new go-to girlie tea party tea.

I love the flavour of rose and it pairs wonderfully with the white chocolate, but I find this tea turns bitter very fast. Not terribly so, but it could definitely be better. Still a tasty cup :)

Very very good.
Light and floral.
No overpowering taste. The white chocolate is a nice addition. I’m loving this! Must try with milk later or tomorrow.

I wasn’t sure if I’d like this tea because I’m not a fan of flowery teas but I quite enjoy English Rose. The rose flavour is really powerful so beware. I think it’s a great desert tea, I had it alone and it was just as nice. For those who might find the rose flavour too strong I would recommend having it with something to eat.

I drank it plain and it was wonderful. The white chocolate makes it rich.
