I prefer this tea infused at a lower temperature. I can taste the complexity of the white tea flavour.

I could taste more of the white tea flavour with a shorter infusion than last time.

Dry leaf has a sweet hay, lemon aroma.

Strong note of corn in the aroma.

Corn-note on the sip with a sticky-sweet finish. Thin mouthfeel. Not as creamy as I would expect for a milk oolong. Sour floral note. Slight milky note.

This tea is good even when infused at a slightly higher temperature. I detect notes of spinach and sugar.

Note of goat’s milk from the bag of dry leaf

Corn aroma in the brewing tea and brewed tea. Creamy, floral and sweet notes in the aroma of the brewed tea.

Flavour is very strong and a bit bitter. I should infuse for a shorter amount of time next time. The website of the tea company recommends 70 seconds for the first infusion.

Used 1 teabag for 375 ml

Very dilute flavour- I might try to infuse this for longer in the future. I can taste the green tea which seems to be a sencha-type. The jasmine is very mild. I think that I can smell the aroma more than I can taste it.

I received this tea as a gift and this is my second time getting a box of Rituals tea. I really appreciate the design and artwork on the box. It does make the whole tisane-drinking experience that much more special.

I am a fan of a rose-floral taste in my tea. I especially love it when I get notes of rose in my black teas. This infusion is one of the first that I’ve had in a long time where rose was the featured flavour. I don’t think that the spicy ginger is the best pairing for the rose but it certainly is something that I have been happy to try. It is a bit too harsh for the soft sweetness of the flower. This is a very well-blended tisane with herb-y notes in the background and at the end of the sip.
