I can’t believe that I’m still the only person who has reviewed this tea. I guess it’s still pretty new! I had a cup of this earlier, this time my water was for sure fine. The tea did turn out a bit fuller and more nuanced than last time. Incidentally I used half my sample pouch in a 12oz mug, and brewed at the recommended temp.
This is quite a nicely done scented tea, as I would expect from Teavivre. It’s also been done with a deft hand; the rose is subtle but present enough that you know you are drinking a rose tea. But really it is more like a pleasant accompaniment to the dian hong. The dian hong is on the earthy side of things, with light notes of sweet potato. The whole cup was slightly sweet from the dian hong. For me, I tend to favor the not-so-earthy dian hongs, so the black base totally my style, but it is a lovely tea nonetheless. I will definitely enjoy the rest of my sample pouches.

I’ve noticed this tea a few times on their site, will probably order some sooner or later…haven’t met a rose tea I didnt like, especially iced.
The sweet potato notes are very intriguing! I’ve never tried dian hong, perhaps I should.
One of the most sweet potato-y dian hongs I’ve tried was Teavivre’s Dian Hong Golden Tip. Quite sweet and delicious! It would be a good one to try out.
Will do, I see they offer samples!
