My favourite scented tea from China. This China Rose is produced in the traditional way. Black Tea leaves are layered with perfumed rose petals and are left so that the perfume fuses with the tea. It is then sieved to produce the traditional sweet full taste and rose flavour. The rich black tea is speckled with the dried rose petals which make it so pleasing to the eye. The flavour is gently malty with a hint of sweetness. Brew for 3-4 minutes. Water temperature: 100 degrees C. Use 3-4 teaspoons per litre of water.
