I served this today for my friend’s celebration, hoping she would like it more than I did. She said it was good but she didn’t drink a lot of it.

Having tried it full strength and resteeped, I am not a fan. I will drink this and may try to find a way to make it more appealing to me, but the white tea is too mild and the rose flavor too light and the hibiscus turning it pink for Valentine’s is no excuse for adding it and cover up what might have been nice flavors under there.

If I were choosing a Fortnum tea to serve for Valentine’s Day, it would more likely be Rose Pouchong or Countess Grey…maybe even Victoria Grey. The only thing this tea had going for it for the holiday was the color. That’s not enough.

Maybe I can find a way to improve it.

Bio

I am a music teacher, tutor, and former homeschool mom (25 years!) who started drinking loose leaf tea about fourteen years ago! My daughters and I have tea every day, and we are frequently joined by my students or friends for “tea time.” Now my hubby joins us, too. His tastes have evolved from Tetley with milk and sugar to mostly unadorned greens and oolongs.

We have learned so much history, geography, and culture in this journey.

My avatar is a mole in a teacup! Long story…
