Black Tea by Upton Tea Imports
Quality China black (Congou) tea is fermented with rose blossoms, creating a naturally scented, sweet cup. This tea is occasionally referred to as Lotus Tea, but should not be confused with the flavored tea blend bearing that name.
Not only a lovely scented tea, but delicious as well. Both my wife and I enjoyed this Congou very much.
As with Upton’s Lychee Black tea, this makes a fabulous iced tea.
I am in love with this tea! I purchased the 250g tin from Upton and was delighted to receive it the afternoon before a blizzard hit the area. I made a pot of it as we experienced some “thundersnow”, and added hand-pressed rosewater sugar cubes to the pot. It’s delightfully fragrant and isn’t bitter at all if oversteeped.
The rose, just like another person said, is a tiny bit spicy but never overbearing/cloying. I’ve finally found the perfect rose tea for me!
Rose Congou is an amazing tea with a comforting hint of rose. Not overwhelming at all and one of my favourite teas to curl up with after a hard day.
The delicate scent and taste of the rose petals enhance, rather than mask, the taste of the tea itself. Can be saved for special occasions, but easy enough to drink on a daily basis.
LOVE it Love it. what more can I say
