Name is “sic!” as on website, in Advent Calendar 2024 label says “Rose Congou”.
The scenting of black tea with rose petals and/or rose oil has a centuries-old tradition in China. The resulting “Rose Congou” became a staple of early European tea culture in the 19th century. Our Imperial Rose Congou is a black tea from Yunnan, scented with pure essential oil of the Damask rose. When brewed, the seductive fragrance of the dry leaves translates into a rich, full-bodied flavor profile dominated by high floral notes.

ADVENT DAY 11, tea 2/3
After steeping and drinking this tea I realised it’s a tea for tomorrow! Whoops, I guess! So tomorrow I will drink tea for today. Let’s see what is it.
I am actually fan of rose teas, but it wasn’t always the case! They used to be too floral, somehow artificial, but then I got to try some good loose leaves and better tea bags and voilá I like it.
This one is Yunnan black tea and just scented with oil instead of petals. Adding a few would make the visual much better though. It was a bit boring.
Not a surprise, this one is very aromatic. After rose, naturally. A little peppery in the scent.
The flavour was just great… as a quality base was used. Malty and chocolate base, with some earthiness too. Strong and enjoyable. The rose level was just right, not too strong, but also not too weak. A little more and it would be peppery, which is disliked by some (I personally would like it), and not too little to search for any rose in this.
In conclusion, it’s not so expensive, so it has got a good chances to buy a pouch of this one day.
