Dry: Strong rose aroma. Pretty loose green tea with pink rose petals.
Steeped: Light yellow clear liquor. The rose fragrance does not smell artificial or unappealing, but I am not really able to detect the green tea blended with the strong rose scent in the steeped tea.
Taste: I do not normally like rose teas at all, but this is actually better than expected. For the first steep, I was primarily getting straight rose with the very faintest green tea grassy note, but the floral note did not taste like a bottle of perfume either. I like this much better than black tea and rose blends I’ve had in the past. The second steep was pretty much straight rose as far as I could tell and I didn’t steep for a third time. I think for this kind of blend, it is a nice rose tea, but I wouldn’t keep it around simply because I am not a rose tea connoisseur. If you like rose tea blends though, then this is for you.
