September Sipdown Prompt – World Rose Day: a tea with rose petals or flavors
This blend contains rose congou black tea as well as rose petals, but it is overwhelmingly violet flavored. This smells and tastes like the violet candies I love and always try to resist opening a pack but I want to eat the whole thing at once.
I do not serve this to Ashman as he doesn’t like tons of floral flavors in tea, especially rose. He likes jasmine pearls and doesn’t mind an oolong with some light scenting. This one would be way too floral for him (I think) but I love it when I just need to feel foofy.
The black tea base is good and hefty and I am sure you could add milk and sugar if you like your tea that way. I drink it sans additions and had it for breakfast. It is strong enough for that for me!
