Rose Congou… ahh
This is a great afternoon tea, I must say. The smell of the roses is very soothing and relaxing. I steeped it for 4 minutes and got a dark cuppa, which is very smooth and a tad bit malty. The rose is present but not overpowering, at all. I am glad I got a 4 oz. tin of this, I think it will be a new favorite. :)
