I have always loved rose-flavored/scented things. This black tea is no different. Great tea.
Our Summer Rose tea invokes the sweet lingering fragrance of late summer roses winding up a garden trellis. Mellow and deliciously floral, this rose tea is balanced with the bright briskness of a Ceylon black tea.

I have always loved rose-flavored/scented things. This black tea is no different. Great tea.
The perfect balance of floral and black teas. Very enjoyable, with or without sugar.
Too much rose flavor for me, but if you like flowers in your tea, this is perfect!
Nice strong black tea with a strong rose scent, if you like rose.
lightly sweetened. I like the light floral flavor and appreciate that it doesn't have a strong floral smell like some floral teas do.
This tea smells so heavenly, I almost didn't want to drink it! It tastes nice, but I like how it smells better.
Amazing nlend. The black tea is surprisingly complementary to the rose flavouring.
Lovely floral black tea! It only needed a short steeping time to avoid being overly strong.
Okay so this is my favorite rose tea to date. Some people like more of a light rose flavor but I was always looking for a rose tea with a strong rose flavor so I was happy this packed a punch. I drink it hot in the morning and iced later in the day but always sweet. Because the flavor is so saturated a bag of this goes a long way and I get multiple steeps. Some people have said it seems fake but as a person who has spent some time inside plants that process organic roses in high volume I can tell you that it's just unbelievably concentrated compared to rose teas I've tried before--but definitely authentic.
I love the floral scent of this tea. Would recommend to people who love a warm cup of tea.
This tea has been inconsistent in it's quality each time I've ordered it, ranging from mild rose flavor to rich. When it's rich, it's delightful yet delicate, but when it's mild it is rather unremarkable.
This is one of my favorite blends. The black tea and the rose petals are wonderfully balanced, so that the tea gives a full-bodied flavor without overpowering the floral taste of the rose petals.
I loved this-- probably to some people it might taste unpleasantly like drinking potpourri, but the strong rose flavor was wonderful for me. One of my new favorites.
I thought this would be overwhelmingly floral but was pleasantly surprised. I love the taste and the smell is amazing.
This tea is really light and soothing! The rose isn't overpowering and is definitely one of my favorites.
while i really enjoyed this tea, i wish very much that rose petals could be an inclusion without the black tea; i enjoyed a drink in the middle east that was strongly rose flavored, and have often wished for it in the evening when it was too late to drink caffeine. in any event, this tea captures its namesake beautifully; but beware of oversteeping, lest the fragile aroma of rose become overpowered by the tea in which it's mixed. (also great as a mixer in blends--with summer fruits, mellow spiced teas, thank sort of things. the smell out of the bag will make you think of weddings and valentines and sweet bowers. enjoy!)
very gentle, even for a black tea. the taste and smell is of roses and it's wonderful!
Perfect amount of rose flavor. Doesn't over power. Love this tea for spring and summer!
The rose flavor is extremely light, and tastes best with a little bit of milk. The black tea can be overpowering if you let the bag steep for too long, but it has a pleasant scent and flavour.
The first thing that hit me was the smell it smells like summer and is instantly relaxing.
This tea smells wonderful and I like it a lot. I wasn't sure if it would be one I would like but I took a try since it is Ceylon tea. I definitely wasn't disappointed.
Very good. I like that it is a little different.
Delightful rose petals add their own scent and flavor while making home more like a rose garden.
Has a creamy sort of taste. The rose was not overpowering. This was good as an afternoon tea. I liked it. I prefer it with unsweetened almond milk.
very floral smells amazing. This is a great milk and sugar tea. found it had a bit of a smokey taste.
This tea is very nice, i like it with milk and sugar. however it is very flowery and fragrant so it might not be for everyone, but I love teas like that.
It smells WONDERFUL and tastes good too!!! But when it says to brew it for 3 minuets it means it. I left it in too long on accident and it became bitter. Lucky for me that was just what was left in my tea pot after the first cup.
Floral notes and slight sweetness come across nicely, just not my cup of tea.
Not a huge fan of this. Too much like perfume for my taste.
I wish this was a little more rose and a little less black tea, but it's a very good light rose flavor.
Not my cup of tea (pun thoroughly intended). It does smell nice (I was promised a rose garden after all... sorry, another pun), but there's nothing spectacular with its taste. To me, it tastes like a plain black tea and nothing special. It's not bad, but there are better teas out there.
Again, sorry for all the puns.
I really love rose teas and collect them whenever I travel from many different companies and purveyors of tea. Adagio's Summer Rose is right up there at the top - the only thing missing is just a hint more rose flavor. I tend to like my tea very 'floral' so this was a little light on the rose - but for many would probably be just right.
(Update) - as tastes 'shift', this tea has become a favorite - not overwhelmingly floral, but certainly enough flavor to let you know it's a rose tea!
Black tea and rose petals don't compete for dominance in flavor in this tea. The flavors are a perfect blend.
delicious light tea. rose flavor comes through nicely, without being overwhelming
Mmmmmmm, I can't explain how much I love this tea!!! My favorite way to drink it is as a tea latte... brew it a bit extra strong, mix with steamed milk and a bit of sugar... heaven!!!
A dear friend of mine told me that I had to try rose tea. When I saw this on offer, I took the plunge and bought a sample. I do not regret it for a second. It has a lovely gentle and sweet taste to it, and I enjoy having a cup to start my day. When the sample runs out, I will definitely be buying more
Though the scent of the tea itself is very strong, the rose flavor is present but not overwhelming when brewed. It does taste a bit perfume-y, though this lessens as the tea cools down (may make a nice iced tea).
A lot of rose scent here, once it is brewed it's not too overpowering though. My favorite is still the earl grey lavender, but this is a good floral tea.
This was just wonderful mixed with the cream tea. I loved the fragrance.
This was a great tea, I highly recommend trying it for yourself.
This is the rose tea I've been looking for! Beautiful scent and delicious taste that only rose can deliver. Sweeten with a bit of honey and the rose really stands out. Highly recommend!
I can't say enough about this tea. It is so light and comforting to drink. Perfect before a stressful day or before bed.
The rose flavor is rather delicate, and the black tea can get bitter if steeped too long. I would recommend leaving the bag or steeper in for a maximum of 5 minutes.
Not the tea for me. The bitterness of the black tea did nothing to enhance the rose, which to me seemed more like an afterthought than an actual flavor. Gorgeous in the bag, though.
Love this one! I was a lil skeptical at first, but it's so nice and not overpowering at all!
I had a very small sample of this tea and it was so perfect that I had to order some more within a few days of finishing the sample. The rose flavor helps balance out the natural bitterness of the black tea and really gives it a unique taste. I'm not huge on many flavored black teas, but this one is amazing. Quickly becoming my go-to morning cup.
Pleasant rose taste and aroma. Moderately heavy, appropriate for summer just as the name suggests.
The Summer Rose tea is so beautiful. smells wonderful from the bag and also after steeping, and the taste is just as lovely! I was worried at first it might be too perfumey, but it isn't at all! Definitely worth purchasing.
The Summer Rose tea has quickly become one of my favorites. The delightful floral taste comes through once you have perfected your steeping time. Personally I believe less is more when it comes to this tea, otherwise you can be left with a bitter taste.
Loves the smell. Loved the tea and the color. Will order again
