I’m drinking this sweetened with a bit of wildflower honey right now. I don’t normally sweetened black teas (apart from chais) but the rose flavour is actually complimented quite nicely by a bit of honey-sweetness.
A bit of a shorter steeping. Interestingly, while the rose is lighter I can taste the black tea more; it has sort of nice, unobtrusive, toasty sort of flavour to it.
Backlogging. It’s too early for me to try and discern any new nuances in this tea – go read my past tasting notes.
Made a pot for myself and the boyfriend this morning, as we both stayed up until ridiculous hours studying for midterm exams.
Steeped for 4 min and added skim milk. I was afraid the rose would be overpowering with the extra steeping time but that wasn’t really the case (or maybe we were in too much of a rush to notice).
I think I’m going to be sad when this tea runs out. Go read my past tasting notes if you’re curious. :)
Not much more to say, go read my older tasting notes. :)
I’m making myself a pot to fortify myself for the last minute Christmas things I need to do. It’s gonna be a busy day.
The rose is a touch too strong at this steeping temp and it’s almost all that I’m tasting right now.
Steeped this morning for 2.5 minutes and it came out very nice with the rose not too overpowering.
Tastes good with milk too. ;)
