This chinese green tea is furled in rose blooms, hence it has a delicious fine rose flavour.

A floral green tea. It does taste like flower but the green tea base is astringent to the point of being soapy. I would like to see if a black tea version of this would work better.

This is such a pleasant, light tea. I find this one quite delicate and floral, while still retaining a hint of green notes and light mint to it. I love the uniqueness of this tea and find myself enjoying it most often in the afternoons, or while I’m doing my makeup in the mornings. It’s such a pleasant tea, I really recommend this one!
This was another one of the teas that I put in to cold brew earlier. I didn’t necessarily think it would be good chilled, I’m just determined to try everything cold. May I just say… NEVER AGAIN! This is almost comically horrible, in a way that I almost burst out laughing when I took a sip. It’s just bitter on top of bitter with an aftertaste of roses. I don’t know, maybe florals just aren’t good for cold brewing.
Ew. Yuck. Blegh.
:( LOL
It was very LOL. And then it was very dumped down the sink! XD
Hahaha, I’m sorry, but I LOL:ed at your distress. I’ve also had exactly one tea that made me burst out laughing because it was so incredibly bad.
…but tell us how you really feel. :) Seriously, I have tried some teas as cold steeps that turned out the same way. At least you’re willing to experiment!
Oh man :( I don’t think I’ve had a laughably bad tea before, but that is pretty impressive.
I’m forcing myself to try every permutation of my teas before I allow myself to ORDER MOAR! XD
Veronica: LOL.
If it’s so bad, why a 78???? ;-)
The 78 was from the hot version. I’m not going to lower it just because it’s bad iced.
Thé vert à la rose is my very first experience ever with Kusmi tea. And it is an auspicious beginning! The sachet is smaller than some (Harney & Sons, Tazo, et al.), but the dried tea includes both larger and smaller pieces of green leaves—very dark and some gnarled and knotted—along with dried rose petals. The rose scent is unmistakeable, but so is the dark vegetable aroma of the base tea.
The liquor brews up to a nice golden color—veering toward brown—and the taste is the sum of its parts: a China green vegetable-flavored tea garnished with the light taste of rose. I do taste the rose here, which I did not so much in Harney & Sons Jane’s Garden. Another big difference is the base tea. Harney & Sons features bancha, which this definitely is not. It might be Mao Feng, but I’m waiting to find out from Kusmi customer service whether that is right.
In the meantime, I can affirm that this was a sachet well sent (along with a recent purchase of the Russian teas set), as it has provided me with firm grounds for ordering a larger supply of this tea. As a matter of fact, I already have a small tin (1 ounce) on the way, as it is included in the green tea sampler tin set. After drinking this tea a few more times I’ll be able to decide whether a big tin purchase is in order for a future order. So far, so good with Kusmi!
