Day 24 of the PostTea advent. Floral teas can be hit or miss for me, but this one, fortunately, is the former. The rose is fairly strong, but the effect is more Turkish delight than perfume – if that makes sense! The black base is smooth and very mildly malty. I drank most of my cup with milk, because I needed to cool it in order to go out. It works equally well either way – the overall effect is creamier and more muted with the milk (naturally), more like rose ice cream. The floral is stronger without milk, but balanced well with the black base, so it comes across fairly even-handed. It’s definitely a flavoured black tea, rather than just a flavoured tea.
The rose ice cream idea is a good one, though. I might keep some of this back to make an iced latte with in the summer…
