Oh, all right. So, I love the complexities, the floral notes, the honey and fruit notes that I can find in oolongs. But some nights I need a comfort tea. I got this particular ceylon in a gift pack and figured I could do to lighten my stash a bit, so I brewed it up. I like to call it “Red Rose for Grownups.” It has a deep sweetness to it, and just a bit of a fruity aroma. I also like to add just a little bit of sugar to “bring me home” as it were. A very tasty tea – I could drink it every day, really – it’s a shame Teavana chooses ridiculous blends over very nice basic teas like this.
2 Tasting Notes
This is my favorite black tea and I love the weight of it and the top note adds an interest. Great with treats. I prefer it with a tiny bit of sugar and no milk.
