Tea of the early morning……
It has been a long time since I have had this one. Really, my cupboard is way to deep for comfort. All my favorites end up at the back, and the number of tins are getting a bit cumbersome. I either need to open up a tea house, or figure out how to use my tea in alternative ways. I am kidding, of course! Not about the amount, though…… I think I am at the stage in my tea journey where I mostly need to settle in with my favorites.
This is definitely a favorite. It is the perfect balance of China black tea and rose. It is also an incredibly good value at $4 for 125 grams. Love this!
Usual teapot method.

I think the rose is light in this one. In Harney’s rose tea, the rose is the main taste. In this one it is tea with a hint of rose.
Ditto on the stash enormity. I now have some teas that I know I have owned for more than 2 years and still haven’t finished – that saddens me. I’ve by and large stopped buying/ordering tea (with a few exceptions) for a long while so I can get through the backlog and use things in a timely manner.
Everybody keeps saying that, but ….hehehehehe…I just ordered a Ceylon from The Tao of Tea. Even as I make a dent in my tea stash, I order more. I really did need a Ceylon, and this one looked really good, AND the price was right. :))
I’ve always wanted to try this one. Maybe I’ll buy some with my next Upton order. :))
How noticeable is the rose petals?
I could always send you some, too. It might help lighten my stash a little. A win-win?

ok, but what do you like? I’ll try to send you something of mine too! :))
I liked this too. :)
I feel the same way about my stash! Way too much tea, and I feel like I’ll never get through it.

mine is getting quite large as well… I need to put myself on a budget!

That is a good price!
