New Westholme Blend :: BLACK ROSE

Roses have been highly revered and have held symbolic and medicinal significance. Traditional Chinese medicine recognizes consuming rose, especially in tea, as having a cooling and calming effect while balancing the body’s energy, promoting healthy digestion and relieving emotional stress + anxiety. When paired with our carefully selected premium black teas, this symphony of full bodied floral flavours come together to provide a loving, delicate and relaxing tea for the nervous system. The natural sweetness of this organic blend creates a beautiful steep on its own and can also be enjoyed with  milk + honey. 

The nose begins with a fresh aroma of sweet roses and roast peaches. The depth of our premium black teas in this full bodied blend weaves a soft richness that carries a delicate floral flavour of rose and brown sugar throughout every sip. The comforting linger of rose and citrus grounds the senses. Notes of burnt sugar and plum sit in the empty cup.

To make a beautiful steep of Black Rose, we recommend 2 grams of loose leaf tea per cup (250ml) using 100ºC water. Steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on preference of strength and re-steep as needed.
