Økologisk Kyoto-rose-te

The rose scent is genuinely fresh, not perfumey like most floral teas I've tried. Steeping it for about three minutes gives a clean, delicate cup that doesn't turn bitter.

I've been drinking this every evening after dinner and the floral note is so soft it almost tastes like a fresh garden smells. The whole petals unfurl nicely in hot water, and I didn't even need sweetener.

Steeped a cup of this on a rainy afternoon and the whole kitchen smelled like a flower garden. The rose flavor is gentle and floral without tasting like soap, which was my worry. Two minutes is plenty, any longer and it gets a bit bitter.
