Description: For thousands of years, 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. We drew inspiration from the thousand year old stories of the rose to develop this heart warming and comforting blend. 

Tasting Notes: 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.

Brewing Instructions: 2g per cup. 100ºC water. Steep 3-5 minutes.

Organic

China has a rich and ancient tradition of producing high quality teas of all varieties, and black tea is no exception. This is where tea culture and industry, as we know it, began nearly 2,000 years ago.

Known as ‘Red Tea’ in China, the tea leaves from the Camellia sinensis sinensis plant are smaller and finer than their Indian counterparts, the Camellia sinensis assamica, and prefer cooler mountainous regions. Usually plucked by hand and gently processed, the end result are exquisitely fragrant teas with lesser levels of astringency and a soft body.

Several Chinese provinces are famous for their regional tea selections: Fujian Province is home to the well-known, pine-smoked Lapsang Souchong, while Keemun tea, the official choice of the British Queen, is produced in Anhui Province. Yunnan province produces the ever-popular varieties of Yunnan black tea and is also the region where China started its tea cultivation.

The organic teas we import are artisanally farmed and crafted. They may change with each harvest season. The same tea harvested at a different time of year and processed by a different tea maker will vary slightly in flavour and finish.
