Spice Rose Tea – Assam Black Tea with Rose & Cardamom | Lluvia Tea

Spice Rose is a three-ingredient blend of whole-leaf Assam Orthodox black tea, rose petals and cardamom. The Orthodox leaf gives a malty, rounded base with more complexity than a CTC grade, the rose adds fragrance, and the cardamom lifts the finish. It is an afternoon tea for people who like a floral cup that still has body.

FAQs

What is the difference between Orthodox and CTC tea?

Orthodox leaf is rolled whole rather than crushed, which gives a more layered, less sharply brisk cup. CTC gives strength quickly but less nuance.

Can I drink this with milk?

A small amount of oat milk works, but too much milk buries the rose. Most people take it black.

Why not steep it longer for a stronger cup?

The rose petals turn bitter after about four minutes. Use more leaf rather than a longer steep.
