Fragrant rose petals from 'Rose Town' in Shandong add a blush of sweetness to the pinewood base of this highly lovable black tea.
Why we love it:
- It's one of our signature blends, made from chocolately Keemun (祁門 Qimen) black tea and fragrant rose petals.
- Our Keemun black tea base is made from a cultivar that contains a unique essential oil known for its calming effects.
- Our rose petals from “Rose Town” (玫瑰鎮) in Shandong, an area that has been growing roses for 1,300 years. It is home to the famous “double-petal rose”, a flower with more than 40 petals, which is also used in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
