Black tea from Sri Lanka meets the natural and sumptuous fragrance of Damask roses, a world famous rose variety from Bulgaria. Generously sprinkled with rose petals, this splendid tea is pleasing to both the eyes and taste buds. The natural flavors used for this tea are 100% extracted from Bulagrian Damask roses, which makes it possible to create a high quality rose tea with a fragrance faithful to that of the actual flower. The high-quality aroma of the Damask rose petals in this black tea contributes to the beautiful lingering taste of roses.

A Mother’s Day gift from Superanna! Many thanks! <3
I enjoy rose in tea, and not so long ago had a lot of rose teas on shelf. Right now I just have this one and St Valentine’s Blend from Czar Nikolas II. I finished Harney’s Rose Scented and Fortnum’s Rose Pouchong. I do have a couple of blends, like Yume, that are “rose and…”.
Of my rose teas, this one was really on point today. I wanted a good plain black tea and I don’t have any with heft on shelf right now, at least not the kind of heft I was thinking of. I didn’t want a ton of flavoring this time with my lunch and this one seemed to be a good choice.
The rose is a deep, dusky one with a little peppery note. The black tea base was so wonderful and was a really solid foundation with lots of low notes. I would compare it this way – Rose Scented and St Valentine’s would be like a bottle of essential oil was spilled right by you. This one is more like drinking black tea near a bouquet of luscious, fresh roses.
It isn’t that there isn’t enough rose flavor. Rather it is an aroma you get when you sniff the tea cup, not when you walk in the room. I do like the other teas (Harney and Czar) but this one seems more refined. Ranking the rose teas I would probably go with this on top, the Fortnum Rose Pouchong, then Rose Scented by Harney, and then Czar Nikolas St Valentine’s, although the Czar is much cheaper and makes a wonderful base for black tea and rose ice cream. All are good!
