I got this tea in a swap from Cheri. Thanks Cheri, this was one that I really wanted to try! This tea is just gorgeous with all the petite little rosebuds in it. Brewing, this tea smelled overwhelmingly of rose in a perfume-like way (I know, what was I expecting with a rose tea?). At first taste, the rose was a little overwhelming to me as well and I didn’t think I was going to like this tea. However, after it cooled a bit, the rose really toned down and I enjoyed it so much more. The rose is at the forefront of the sip above a creamy sensation. It’s not really a creamy taste, but more of a sensation. It leaves a tingly feeling on my tongue that is reminiscent of champagne.

Flavors: Creamy, Rose

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Every single I’m on the website, I look at this, put it in my cart, and then take it out. Then put it back in, and take it out. And repeat. I know I don’t like things that taste like roses but the picture and the name make it sound SO GOOD that I’m like “YES, I WILL BUY YOU” until my guilt kicks in haha

Thanks Cheri, I definitely did :-)

Virginia, if you don’t like things that taste like roses, this is definitely not the tea for you! It is the most rose-y of an rose tea I’ve tasted. It is Butiki though, so you know it’s well done! This is a rose tea like the lavender chamomile is a lavender tea :-P

Well now I know that the best way to put me off of any tea in the world is to mention Lavender in the same paragraph lol.

It’s really good, but honestly only if you like roses and floral teas. This is quite floral, but it is so yummy.

Bio

Tea-obsessed, book worm scientist.

I love black tea, especially Chinese black tea- I’m looking at you Fujians and Yunnans! I also enjoy Indian teas, mostly first flush darjeelings (and a select few assams).
I think I’m recently starting to like oolongs better though- gasp! I’ve been cheating on my black teas with all these lovely, alluring green floral oolongs. Sorry I’m not sorry.
White tea gets a lot of love too! I am particularly fond of silver needle whites.
I can’t seem to appreciate green teas and rooibos is foul, IMO.

Other interests: Books! Board games! Nerdy entertainment like Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Battlestar Galactica, Game of Thrones, Sherlock, all the nature documentaries, etc etc. Also Disney!

I’m up for swaps!
