Rose Oolong Tea by Lluvia Tea

Rose Oolong Tea pairs oolong leaf with dried rose petals and a small amount of stevia. The oolong gives a smooth, partly oxidised base with light fruit and earthy notes, the rose sits on top as a clear floral perfume, and the stevia adds a touch of sweetness without sugar. It is a fragrant cup that needs nothing added.

Key Features

• Oolong base — smoother and rounder than green tea, lighter than black
• Whole dried rose petals visible in the blend
• Lightly sweetened with stevia, so no sugar is needed
• Flavour: floral rose over a mellow, gently earthy oolong
• Best drunk without milk

Ingredients

• Oolong tea
• Dried rose petals
• Stevia

How to Brew

• 2 to 2.5 g per 200 ml of water at 85 to 90 C.
• Steep 2 to 3 minutes, then strain.
• Taste before adding anything — the stevia already sweetens the cup.
• Re-steep once for a lighter, more floral second infusion.

Product Details

Good to Know

• Contains caffeine.
• Contains stevia as a sweetener — note this if you prefer entirely unsweetened tea.
• Rose petals are fragile and some breakage in the pack is normal.
• Over-steeping past 4 minutes makes the rose turn slightly bitter.

FAQs

Is it sweetened?

Yes, lightly, with stevia. There is no added sugar.

How does it compare with the Spice Rose blend?

Spice Rose uses an Assam black base with cardamom and is much stronger. This one is lighter, floral and unspiced.

Can I drink it iced?

Yes. Brew it strong, chill, and serve over ice; the rose and stevia carry well when cold.
