During the drying process, China black tea is delicately scented with rose petals to produce Rose Congou Tea. The resulting brew is a fragrant copper colored cup with a slightly sweet floral taste. Roses have long been heralded as symbols of romance, respect, hope and beauty. Try a cup of this aromatic brew and see what unfolds for you!

Try pairing Rose Congou tea with poultry dishes, fruits (especially raspberry and lemon), soft cheeses (like brie), sweets (such as shortbread, cakes, cookies, scones) and chocolate.

Brew tea at 212º - steep for 3 minutes.

  1/2 cup water
  1 tsp. Rose Congou Black Tea

Refreshing!


Rose Tea Turkish Delight
Sent to us from Judy Bindner

3 cups brewed Rose Congou tea, double strength
2 cups sugar infused with a bit of Rose Flower Crystals
1/4 cup unflavored gelatin
2/3 cup cornstarch
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
3/4 cup powdered sugar

Combine tea, rose-infused sugar and gelatin in a bowl. Heat in microwave on high for 7 minutes. Stir and microwave for 7 more minutes.

Mix 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, cream of tartar and cornstarch together in a separate bowl. Combine with cooked syrup and heat in microwave on high for 6 minutes. If you desire a stronger Rose flavor, add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. rose flavoring extract. Spray or grease a rectangular baking dish and add mixture. Chill in refrigerator about half an hour or until it is firm.

Remove from refrigerator and cut into small cubes using a knife dipped in water. Toss the squares in the 3/4 cup powdered sugar until all sides are coated. Sprinkle some Rose Flower Crystals on top for a little extra treat. This should be stored in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container.

Judy said " I have always loved what are called Aplets and Cotlets at Christmas. They are flavors of Turkish Delight or loucoum that are readily available. My favorites, however, are rose and pistachio. This recipe is not so difficult because a candy thermometer is not involved."

Customers praised this black rose tea for its "elegant" and balanced flavor profile. The rose scent is "definitely there" but "not so strong that it's like drinking perfume." Shoppers loved the "subtle flavor" and "fresh rose quality," enjoying it hot with honey and cream or iced. Many called it a favorite, noting it's "complex enough" with pleasant spicy undertones.

Elegant

Elegant seems like a strange word to use when describing tea, yet it fits this particular blend perfectly. It is light and warm. I bought is originally because I was introduced to rose tea and fell in love. S&V has the best (black) rose tea I've tried, which is one of the reasons it a favorite.

Subtle Rose Flavor

My first time tasting rose congou tea and I like it.I love the aroma of roses and this tea has a nice subtle flavor which is what I am looking for. It is lovely with a touch of milk. This tea hit the spot for me when I'm feeling cold but don't want the James Joyce Irish tea just yet.

A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME----

A FRAGRANT ROSE GARDEN! THE SCENT IS STRONGER THAN THE TASTE. ONCE BREWED THE FRAGRANCE COMES THROUGH, BUT NOT TOO OVERPOWERING. JUST RIGHT! THE PETALS ADD TO THE AMBIANCE.

Perfect, perfect, perfect

I've tried a lot of teas from S&V, and this is probably my favorite of all time. The rose flavor is strong enough to come through clearly, but is balanced very nicely with the black tea, and it can handle a bit more oversteeping (if, say, you happen to forget to take out your leaves while reading a book) which is very nice. Love this one!

Spring Rose

I really enjoy rose scented teas and goodies, so it's no surprise that I like this tea. It has a very fresh rose like quality to it. Smelling it actually reminds me of spring time! I enjoy the tea best hot with honey and cream, but the fresh quality of this tea makes for an nice iced tea as well!

Just the right amount of rose flavor

I love floral scented teas, but lately I've been enjoying blends that mix floral and fruit aromas. This tea was a nice return to the basics for me. The rose scent is definitely there from the moment you open the package, but not so strong that it's like drinking perfume. Well done.

Rose goodness

This tea is imbued with wonderful floral rose flavor, but it isn't overpowering. There's a quite pleasant spicy taste beneath the rose, and this tea is complex enough that I find different tastes with every sip. The rose really comes out in the smell as well, which is truly delightful.
