Tea of the Week for August 7, 2017!
This tea may or may not be inspired by one of Axl Rose’s tattoos. I’m not telling, but what I will say is – for those of you who aren’t already aware of it – I am a fan of Axl (and that would be putting it mildly). It could also be inspired by one of Thin Lizzy’s album covers, which is the inspiration behind Mr. Rose’s tat. But anyway . . .
I started with a blend of black teas from China including a delightful Rose Congou and added lots and lots of blackberries. The flavor is sweet, fruity and somewhat floral (the rose notes are soft and sweetly floral – I think that even those who are often opposed to rose teas might find this tea enjoyable – especially if you’re fond of blackberries!) with a pleasantly robust black tea base.
I prefer this tea hot – but it also makes a surprisingly tasty iced tea too!
