Augh! I’m on my last pot of this tea and I need more. This is a reliably delicious tea that holds up to at least 4 steepings, still giving beautiful color and excellent flavor, though milder by the 3rd and 4th time through. It doesn’t hit you over the head with the rose too much, doesn’t muck it up with any other flavors. It’s truly one of my “staple” teas and I buy it loose leaf from the gigantic cans at the Ten Ren in New York Chinatown. I’m tempted to try some other rose teas just to compare, but now that I’m out of this one, I need to restock ASAP!
