I'm a sucker for a prettily packaged tea, and I saw a new one at T.J. Maxx the other day that was just irresistible for a number of reasons, but largely because it was English Rose flavor!
I love the way the box is clasped, and since I've enjoyed the relatively few Whittard of Chelsea teas I've tried, I felt pretty confident in giving this one a try, especially for just $3.99 for 25 tea bags.
It's always a plus with me when tea bags are individually packaged, as these are. The great thing about this tea, however, was its smooth, light rose flavor! I've heard complaints that rose-flavored teas are too perfumey for some tea drinkers, and I get that. But this one was much more "black tea" than "rose," and the lovely combination is one I will happily look for again. I'm just curious, though … would you/do you drink rose-flavored tea? I'm wondering whether I'm in the minority in liking this tea!
I am not sure I've ever tried rose-flavored tea, but I surely would be willing to try it. It sounds delightful! Don't you love finding interesting teas at TJ Maxx?
ReplyDeleteLove rose tea, will have to look for that one here.
ReplyDeleteI do love rose flavored teas. The one in the Downton Abbey series from Republic of Tea was very good. I don't remember the exact name, but it was the one with the three sisters on it.
ReplyDeleteThat really is an interestingly-packaged tea. I've never tried rose-flavored black tea, but I would give it a try.
ReplyDeleteI’ve enjoyed a green rose tea in the past. The clasp on your box is a nice design.
ReplyDeleteI need to go look for this. I need 25 teabags for a give away at our tea festival this summer and with roses it would be perfect.
