Meh. I’ve had better rose teas (Harney & Sons’ Rose Scented blows this out of the water). It’s not bad, it’s just so shy. If you decide to make a rose tea, make it a great rose tea – GO TO TOWN. This isn’t fragranced enough for me, though it’s still pleasant. It reminds me of May in Wharton’s The Age of Innocence – timid little thing who does what’s expected, a pale pink rose – and I like my rose teas to be like Ellen – a grand posy of gorgeous red roses – if that means anything to you. Can’t say I don’t like it but it’s not a favourite.
This is You :-D

Bio
I’m based in France for now, hence the overwhelming amounts of French teas I seem to accumulate. I like flavoured black tea the best and gourmand flavours seem to be all I look for. Dessert teas with nuts, chocolate, honey, vanilla. I also enjoy a good spicy tea (the hotter the better) and straight florals (especially rose).

so you should try the Dammann Frères Rose tea, it is really a big bouquet of roses.
Excellent, thanks for the recommendation
Good to know about the Dammann rose tea, I’ve been curious about it.
