This is an unusual, interesting blend from Mighty Leaf. Probably the first time I've seen a company pair mandarin and rose together, which I would think would be a lot more common, as it works so well.This tea is visually pleasing, with whole rose buds in the blend. The roses are pretty, but I have to admit I was worried that that would be the only flavor coming through (what a shame that would be, with such a unique blend!). I fretted further when all I could detect in the scent was roses, as well. Surely they wouldn't waste such a good idea.
Thankfully, they didn't. The roses aren't overwhelming (which they can easily be). I wouldn't say I can taste mandarin specifically, but there are definitely citrus notes here. It pairs wonderfully with the roses, and the black tea is smooth and mild, giving the flavors a clean base to really come through. I wholly appreciate the depth of this tea, as I was afraid it wouldn't have any.
The more Mighty Leaf teas I sample, the more I find that some are really worthwhile, and some are completely forgettable-especially with their black flavored blends. Sometimes their black tea is much too harsh for the blend it's in. This isn't the case with this one, all the ingredients work perfectly together. This blend is original, and definitely a repurchase for me. I imagine this would make an excellent iced tea during the warmer months of the year. I'll be sure to make some when spring comes around.
