Fortnum & Mason Advent Day 13 (sachets)
I have been really happy to see some herbal infusions that I can drink at night since my “tins” advent has had all caffeinated teas so far.
I love floral tea and I love rose in tea. This infusion would probably be NOT be Ashman’s cuppa because he doesn’t enjoy rose in tea, even though he likes jasmine in tea. I was a little worried about the hibiscus overriding all else, but it definitely doesn’t. First, the aroma is pure, unadultered rose. The color as it starts to steep is a soft pink, so lovely. It doesn’t deepen to a deep pink as I discovered since I left the sachet in the cup. I resteeped it, and still got a pretty pink cup of tea. The rose flavor dominates all, the hibiscus and rosehips pop in after it has steeped longer, and in the resteep I am still enjoying both rose aroma and flavor, though milder.
I enjoyed this, and it was a lot like having C Howards violet candies, only rose flavored. I know there is violet in this and I think it comes in as the candy vibe because seriously all I can think of is rose. And I like it.
I wonder what it would be like iced and sweetened, or better yet…as a tea syrup? Might have to add this to my next Fortnum order to find out. It would be a beautiful syrup for making summer tea sodas….
