28 Tasting Notes
This is wildly different from the loose leaf version of this Tea Discoveries line. The loose version is true to the rose flavor, complete with aroma, but this…this tastes like drinking black tea steeped in fruity candy. Not sure what happened here. It reminds me of artificial banana candies, like banana Now and Laters. Or strawberry banana candy. Neither milk nor sweetener helped.
Flavors: Floral, Fruity
Preparation
I wonder if something nearby, perhaps in the shop before it sold, tainted the flavor? Mine tastes like pure rose, lighter than Harney’s Rose Scented, and nothing else. The black base is mildly drying, but only a tad. Mine are sachets rather than bags.
Sadly, had tried again buying from a different location years later…and no dice. Same result. I may order online and see if it’s any different, but other reviews on the site indicate otherwise.
It tastes medicinal, and not in any good way. —It tastes like I’m drinking my grandmother’s Tiger Balm. It has a plastic-like menthol aroma and flavor. The aftertaste reminds me of Vapor Rub, if I mixed it with hot water and sipped it from a teacup.
Flavors: Medicinal, Menthol, Olive Oil, Orange Zest
