Day 2 of Around the World Advent Calendar 2023 features this tea.
Notes from box: Sip this creamy black tea and imagine a Parisian stroll alongside romantic tea shops with the smell of fresh rose petals in the air.
My notes: My first impression upon opening is that the rose petals are quite dry, curled and whitish like a poorly preserved corsage from 1992…that is to say, not at all as vibrant as pictured on the box. The tea brews a thin caramel liquid that, in my opinion, does not stand up to cream, so I drank it unadulterated. In the mouth, there is a balanced mix of butter and rose. I enjoyed my first few sips, but quickly found that the cream flavoring is decidedly unnatural and not to my liking. (I wish this tea maker had experimented with using nuts or small bits of confectionery to achieve the creaminess instead.) The smell became somewhat medicinal and soapy due to the flavoring. I did not finish my cup.

So the Valentine’s Day collection is out now!
Not gonna lie, I feel like it’s a little early this year and I wish that the Mocktail/Dry January collection had been given more time to breathe – but I’m still very excited about this tea regardless.
I totally have some bias because I personally love rose flavoured tea blends, but even with that aside I think this is such a elegantly simple and very approachable floral blend. For people familiar with DT’s classics, I think the easiest and fastest way to explain this tea is that it’s basically Cream of Earl Grey but with the bergamot swapped for a soft rose flavouring. Not perfume-y or aggressive, just a nice hint that really compliments that silky vanilla note!
If you do like rose, I think you’ll be satisfied with the clarity of flavour and amount present but if you’re on the fence about florals then I think it’s a delicate enough touch to be a good way to dip your toes in. Hopefully that perfect middle ground. Plus, super full bodied and brisk black tea that you can taste in the cup and because it’s not really sweet/sugary you really get a lot of control with your steeping preferences and additions. I love this as a latte, but it’s a great teapot tea too!
…and I’m pretty proud of the name. I think it’s one of the cutest I’ve come up with in a while.
Friendly reminder that I do not numerically rate DAVIDsTEA blends as I’m currently employed there and it would be an obvious conflict of interest. Any blends you see with numerical ratings were rated prior to my employment there. These reviews are a reflection of my personal thoughts and feelings regarding the teas, and not the company’s.
