My husband went to Bangalore for his work, and spoiled me with 7 packs (100g each) of Indian green tea blends from San-Cha. This blend contains green tea and a fairly high amount of rose petals (>10%). I used to buy a rose petal-black tea blend from Taylors of Harrogate and the difference is clearly the proportion of the rose petals. While the ToH blend is definitely first a black tea and the addition of the rose petals is subtle, here the rose petals dominate not only in aroma´s , but also in taste. The label didn´t give any information about steeping times, so I had it steeping for 2.5 minutes. The resulting brew could easily perfume the living room. Very floral and fortunately not grassy at all…you would almost forget this is a green tea!

Bio

Introduced to tea by my sister-in-law in my country of birth = Belgium more than 30 years ago, I still love tea, mainly black, which I enjoy without sugar or milk. Having lived in UK, near good tea shops (e.g. Betty´s all over Yorkshire), I tend to buy most of my tea in bulk from tea shops (as such, most of these are not represented in my on-line cupboard). Nowadays, I live in Spain where tea gives me another sensatory bliss (as wine or beer or coffee can give me too).
