Enchanted Persian Rose tea

A floral blend made with unopened Damask rose buds, the variety native to Persia, from The Vintage Hill Teas. The cup is soft and fragrant rather than heavy, and it takes milk well, which makes it an easy route into rose milk tea. It is for drinkers who like floral cups and want one that works hot, iced or with milk.

Ingredients

Damask rose buds.

How to Brew

Steep hot for a warm, aromatic cup, or cold brew and serve over ice. For rose milk tea, brew it stronger than usual and top with hot or cold milk so the floral note carries through. The same base works in iced tea experiments where you want fragrance without much tannin.

FAQs

Does it taste like rose water?

No. It is gentler and drier than rose water, since the fragrance comes from whole dried buds rather than an extract.

Which size should I start with?

The 20 g tins give about ten cups and are a low-commitment way to try it; the 50 g pouch is the better value once you know you like it.

How do I make rose milk tea with it?

Brew double strength, strain, and add an equal amount of milk. Sweeten lightly if you want the floral note to stay forward.

Are the buds reusable for a second steep?

They will give a second, lighter steep. The first pour carries most of the fragrance.
