From Vahdam Teas

A sensational tea in every way, prepare to be overwhelmed by the aromas of red roses, followed by hints of exotic Kasmere Saffron and grounded nuts. In the cup, the liquor is brisk, robust, and feels ample in the mouth with a heady note of rose ad saffron all through. The creamy and nutty undercurrent provided by pistachios and toasted almonds enhance the flavor. It is easy to see why this is one of the top blends with its pure luxurious red roses and enchanting saffron notes from start to finish. Add a bowl of fresh fruit or a plate of scrambled eggs to heighten the experience.

INGREDIENTS
Black Tea, Saffron, Rose, Almonds, Cardamom, Pistachio

This one is beau-ti-ful, easily the prettiest tea I’ve tried in a while. The rose petals are a bright, bright pink, there are pieces of creamy green pistachio, almonds, the black tea, and then everything is covered in a yellow-ish dust. I’m guessing ginger, based on the flavour. It’s very striking!

To taste, it’s instantly nostalgic and calming. Rose flavoured things remind me a lot of my childhood, and rose is a really prominent aspect of the flavour here. The ginger comes second, adding a delicately spicy heat in the background, and then there’s the sweetly malty black base. There’s a very light hint of nuttiness – nothing I could pin down specifically as pistachio or almond, though. I wish those flavours came through a little more clearly, but I guess with strong competitors like rose and ginger that was always unlikely.

This one comes up kind of murky looking, but it clears as the ginger powder sinks to the bottom of the cup. The black base is pretty light; maybe a ceylon? I half-wondered whether milk might make this one even more comforting and nostalgic, but I think the base probably wouldn’t stand up to it. Maybe as a latte? I like it very much as it is, though; something about the combination of sweet, floral and spicy is just so good! I’m sure I’ll be buying more of this one.

Finished this off at lunch; lunch today was a nice, light salad so it was a really good accompaniment – added some sweetness to the meal. I’ll miss this tea; not enough to order more of it since there’s not really anything else from Vadham that I’d also want at the moment to “fluff up” the order and I certainly don’t want to make a bulk order. However, it’s got a really lovely rose flavour that I will definitely miss being able to turn to when I’m craving something smoothly rose, with a base with more depth. Plus, the cardamom in the mix certainly doesn’t hurt – that’s a note that I’ve been really vibing well with in all sorts of teas as of late…

Speaking of rose, being in Montreal, try to convince Camellia Sinensis to bring back Des Roses et Des Bonbons lol
