Backlog from September 4th:

For the last several days, I have been on the hunt for something (anything!) with roses. Even better if this something had some black tea thrown in. I love the combination very much, especially when combined with stone fruits, but I couldn’t seem to find anything in my tea cabinet to match my craving. Until this.

No stone fruits in The Picture of Earl Grey but definitely the rose I had been seeking. There is also jasmine, which was unexpected at first. I hadn’t realized it, but NovelTeas lists the ingredients as black tea, jasmine green tea, and rose so now the jasmine makes sense. I didn’t take this into account while steeping so I proceeded just as I would have with any other black tea, steeping 2 teaspoons for 5 minutes at roughly 195F. I don’t think it’s any worse for it. In fact, I think it’s quite flavorful this way. The more I drink, the more I taste the jasmine over the rose. It may not have been exactly what I was looking for, but it’s definitely a nice floral cup to enjoy with breakfast. A sweet surprise for sure.

Very rose flavored earl grey, but not overwhelming. Delivered in my book box last month.

There are a LOT of roses in this tea. I was a bit horrified when I looked at the dry leaves but thankfully, it wasn’t the perfumed mess I expected it to be. There is definitely rose flavor, as well as jasmine. There’s supposedly bergamot oil because it’s Earl Grey but I couldn’t really taste it under the rose and jasmine.

It’s drinkable but not my favorite. The flavors mix together a bit weirdly and I’m not completely sure it works for my palate.
