The Butchart Gardens

My husband and I really enjoy this tea. We make sure to buy several packages whenever we visit Butchart Gardens to get us through until our next visit. We’ve tried other Rose teas, but have not been happy with them.

I picked up this tea when the boyfriend-creature and I visited the Butchart Gardens last year – which incidently are absolutely amazing, so if you’re ever in Victoria, BC it’s well well-worth your time and money to go visit.

The tea isn’t anything that strikes me as extraordinary – just another fairly generic berry-flavoured black tea that stands out as neither fantastically good nor horrifically bad. The cornflower petals are supposedly from the garden itself though, which is a nice touch for all that cornflowers are more for visual appeal than for flavour.

My first rose congou which I see is more than just a name for this particular pouch. I will have to try the others as much as I enjoy this one.
