I already have a rose tea that I love, so I’m not exactly sure how this wound up in my Upton order—it was so cheap, I just couldn’t resist! One sniff of the dry leaves and I knew it was a good decision, they smell so delicious. Not really a perfumey rose smell, more earthy. I love floral teas, and rose is my favorite floral scent, so of course I knew right off the bat that I’d enjoy this immensely.
It brews up very dark, and there really wasn’t a ton of rose smell going on so I was a bit worried. And when you first sip, it’s really just a very nice strong, malty, smooth black tea. But I swallowed, my mouth was filled with wonderful rose. Earthy, floral, sweet, delicious! It gets more rose-y as it cools, and I feel like I’ll be making this iced a lot this summer. I like my other rose tea a bit more but this one is just so much more affordable that I will definitely be drinking it regularly.

This is very nice!
I was honestly a bit surprised by how good it is given the cost. Upton’s pricing is pretty fantastic!
This sounds good. I’ve wanted to try a rose tea, so I am definitely going to check this one out!
Which is your other favorite rose tea?
RoT’s seasonal rose blend. It’s highly perfumed and has a more in-your-face rose flavor. I think objectively the subtle flavors in this one are better, but I personally love perfume-y teas.
Cool, I might have to try that one out. Harney’s Rose Scented is also super intense rose flavor if you haven’t tried it!
I was planning on stopping by their SoHo store soon, I’ll definitely pick up a few ounces of that! I can never have enough rose tea.
