With whole miniature rose buds and jade coloured Oolong leaves, how could I possibly resist? Essentially, I am a sucker for rose, which I did not truly understand until date night rolled around and we tried some rose gelato. That gelato reminded me of this tea in wide ways, and good news is that I love them both. The amber liquor of the brew is has a fantasy appeal, reminding me of a smooth and hintingly creamy drink with a viscosity of pure water. A nutty aroma given off by the leaves post-steep is darling, and well fitting to the cup. There's also a warm, fresh cut garden aroma that glides up with the steamy evaporation. The finish and aftertaste is sweet and simple rose. Obviously, if rose is not something the drinker enjoys, they will dislike this tea. On the contrary, I found this gem wonderfully enjoyable and uplifting.

The one mistake I did make with this tea was to drink it when I had no access to food. I had three cups in one morning and I was famished by 10 am. I don't know what it did, or I this is a "health benefit," all I know is that it should be drank when there's food in the tummy and/or close by.
