Description

This aromatic flavoured Black tea with sweetly fragrant English rose is one of the oldest China teas scented using flowers and blossoms. Chinese tea is always deliciously smooth and naturally sweet, just gently dry and always most refreshing.

It was during China’s Ming Dynasty that tea artisans first experimented with buds and blossoms, imbuing the leaves with essential oils. We’ve recreated the taste of a classic “Meigui Gongfu” rose tea by using a Chinese black tea for the base, imbued with subtle floral flavours and scattered with rose petals. The tea might be authentically Chinese, but those wonderfully aromatic notes of rose are forever England.
