I NORMALLY DO NOT LIKE FLOWERED TEAS BUT THIS ONE IS NOT OVERPOWERING. THE TASTE OF THE ROSE BLENDS WELL WITH THE CARDAMOM FLAVOR AND LEAVES ME WITH A CREAMY TASTE. A GOOD EVERYDAY TEA.
THIS TEA HAS A NICE AROMA---I HAPPEN TO LIKE CARDAMOM, SOME MAY NOT. ONCE BREWED THE ROSE SCENT LIGHTENS AND A STRONG TASTE OF CARDAMOM COMES THROUGH. GREAT FOR A PICK ME UP OR A BREAKFAST TEA.
This was my introduction to rose tea and it was fabulous! The aroma is quite enjoyable and bold while dry. Once steeped the fragrance becomes softer, but still keeps it's intricacies. The level of spice in this tea is just right for my tastes. I don't think it overpowers the rose and the rose doesn't overpower the cardamom. It's a perfect balance for me!
Normally I like rose and cardamom-flavored things, but sadly this wasn't the case with this tea. The smell was unpleasantly strong, and the rose was overpowered by the heavy cardamom flavor. Sugar did not help any, and I think in fact worsened the effect.
I love the way you can clearly taste both the rose flavor and the strong cardamom spice in this black tea. The spice comes on a little strong for me, but it was somewhat tamed with sugar. This is the perfect tea to drink when the snow is coming down, as today, as the spicy flavor warms you right through.
