Thanks to Kasumi for this sample! I’ve tried some savory teas before, but usually with sage. I’ve had two blends with rosemary and one was great (Victorian EG) and one was… weird (Sakurambo). So I approached this tea with a bit of trepidation.
The taste is SO unique. The white base is light and soft and almost fruity-sweet, and lets the rosemary really shine. It’s herby, woodsy, a little nutty and has just the right hint of grassiness. It definitely tastes like rosemary, but so different from the preparation it usually gets. It’s like there was a whole sweet side to this herb I never knew about!
Now I really want to experiment with rosemary in sweets. I have a recipe for olive oil rosemary tea cakes, maybe that would be a good place to start? Certainly seems fitting, considering how tea-obsessed I am!
If you’re willing to ship to Canada, I’d love to try some! If not, I’ll be in SF mid-July…
Sure, DM me your address, I got nothing but time right now being unemployed… lol
I absolutely love rosemary, but I definitely see it as a food flavor. I have trouble imagining it in a tea. Though if it was going to be in one, white teas seems like the best option.
I also absolutely love Rosemary. I try it in all kinds of things. (Right now, I’m using a rosemary soap.) I would love a sample. Let me know if there’s anything in my cupboard you would like to try.
