SIPDOWN and well — I won’t miss this tea too much.
While the aroma is very nice, mostly rose, bit of jasmine I have to say, I am not a fan of flavour. The base seems okay, even noticed some peach, I get none of lychee or grapefruit. The taste is as well quite strongly floral, which is kind of dismal for me.
As I said in previous, ehhm 11/06/2019 note, a good tea for floral lovers but not for me. Ageing (unintentional), even though it was wrapped in outer sachet and that in closed box, didn’t helped much. Maybe the peach went bit stronger. Cooled down — why it is so soapy?
I have thought about dropping the rating a bit, but keeping 77. Deserves lower probably.

I’ve never had anything rose-flavored without tasting soap. I wonder if it’s like cilantro, where it tastes like something good to some people and soap to others
I wasn’t impressed by this one either…
I love most florals (rose and lavender particularly) and hear the “soap” description from people often, so I’ve always wondered if it’s just a brain-association since those fragrances are used so often in bath products. But then, there is one floral I don’t like, chamomile, and it does have a taste to it that I don’t know how to describe any other way than “soapy”. And that one isn’t used as a common bath product fragrance.
I don’t usually feel like rose tastes soapy, I just don’t like it. :P I do get that effect from lavender sometimes though.
I don’t buy rose scented soaps, but have the experience from Bulgaria where it was everything possible with rose. Mostly the soaps. And I liked it.
But this was indeed like a soap. Bit of that weird taste, not only the aroma. And I recall liking actual black tea with rose; while it wasn’t soapy. I <3 lavender for its aroma, but don’t feel the soapy note.
