From the Here’s Hoping TTB, round 4
From the dry scent alone I got roses and cinnamon. The leaves dry are quite small and brittle. There are rose petals scattered in the sample, small pieces though, less than a cm square.
Brewed the liquor is the color of light maple syrup and it smells of chocolate and ginger.
The base tea is light, but distinct. It’s smooth and full-bodied. Not astringent or bitter.
The taste doesn’t linger, or intrude on the room. I can only really smell it when I’m trying to, but it doesn’t really interfere with food or anything else.
I would drink this again. It’s more of a dessert tea in my book though. Something light but indulgent.
