An elegant rosy blend, laced with rose petals. Great afternoon tea.

I love rose, so this was a safe bet. It’s a nice one, although—as usual, for this company’s blends—too subtle for my palate. And the type of rose is interesting, too. It’s not Rooh Afza rose, it’s not Indian sweets rose, it’s not Turkish delight rose. It’s more … eau de toilette, talcum powdery rose? I wasn’t expecting that at all. Not my favourite, but kinda different, kinda nice.
Eastern Shore Tea Company’s tea bags are tiny, with a small scoop of tea dust in them. Don’t shake them, because the dust escapes. And if you happen to be leaning in for a mighty sniff at the time, much sneezing ensues. Anyway. I think I’m going to start using less water; maybe that’ll make the flavour more pronounced.
Flavors: Rose
2020 Advent Swap – Day 15
My first floral tea I ever tried. :•) Enjoy!
I love floral teas so much. They are some of my very favorites. This had a light rose scent coming from the package once I opened it. Not strong, but noticeably floral. I happened to read some previous notes on this tea that mentioned curdling with milk, so I looked up the ingredients and saw that it has hibiscus. Also rose hips, not sure if those would have the same effect. No problem, I really couldn’t taste the hibiscus. The rose was just present enough to be noticed without overwhelming the base, which was also really nice. I did really want it creamy though, hibiscus be damned, so I added just a bit of cream to my cup and it turned out just fine! Maybe a little cloudier than usual, but still a delicious cup. Thank you, Devon Bartholomew – great pick for me!
Flavors: Floral, Rose
I think my problem with this tea, is that I was hoping to add milk, to find that it would, for some reason, curdle. I suspect there’s something too acidic in this tea, maybe rose hips, that caused the milk to curdle. Other than that it’s a decent tea. Good with sugar or honey, but again, don’t add milk. It’s fairly sour, and not overly floral, which I wasn’t expecting.
This is my first tea with rose petals so I was very exciting my this purchase. I love roses so this may be a tad biased. This tea is delicate and would be great for an afternoon tea with scones. It smells really good as well. For my net cup I may steep it for a couple of more minutes. If you love roses, this tea is for you!
