I think, but I might be mistaken, that this is the loose tea equivalent of the tinned China Rose Petal Leaf Tea by Taylors of Harrogate. When I was living in Yorkshire, this tea was one of my absolute favourite ones, because of its very floral fragrances, making it an easy-going afternoon tea. The leftovers of a packet I used today must have been forgotten about for some years, and this shows : it smells almost smoked now, although the rose fragrance is still present, and the taste is harder, more bitter than I remember. Still a nice cuppa though. Should get myself a new packet and compare ;-)
