I’ve been curious about The Qi for a while! Their whole flower teas looked very pretty, and I like that they use ethical sourcing practices. I just hadn’t gotten around to ordering – between the cost, not being sure about whether I’d like the taste, and not being a huge fan of all the health claims, it wasn’t top of my to-buy list. But I was thrilled when Nazanin sent me a few!
One of the hesitations I had was whether this tea would be more style than substance. It’s just so social-media-ready, and that sometimes translates to mediocre flavor. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this has both style and substance. The packaging is gorgeous. The dried whole flower is gorgeous. It unfurls gorgeously as it steeps. And the flavor is lightly sweet and floral rose. It holds up well to resteeps and doesn’t seem to overbrew, or at least it didn’t overbrew for me this time. I spent all night drinking it, just topping up the water. Honestly, I can now see why this costs this much. It’s probably the best rose herbal I’ve ever had. This one is a sipdown.
