The aroma from the dry leaf is sweet rose petals and a slight tinge of cinnamon. I think about the champagne gummy bears that my wife and I get from our local Marshall’s when we’re feeling bourgeois.
The wet leaf has more of the black tea base jump out, less rose than the dry leaf, and a little more cinnamon. They should make this into a perfume.
On the flavor, I tasted heavy black tea base (smooth & mildly malt), definitely the rose, and an ever slight hint of marshmallow (the marshmallow when cream is added). I definitely find this tea to inspire a bit of poetry or perhaps a moment to write a postcard to a friend (yes, I write/collect postcards)! Quite a lovely session. :)
