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 know most single flavor teas tend to have a strong presence, but I found the rose overpowering. However, it worked great to add just a small smidge to some of the teas I blend at home with left overs from other bags of tea. Black tea with dewy cherry and just a pinch of the rose makes for a very nice blend.
Excellent tea with sweet floral essence of roses, a superb tea to accompany sweet pastries with friends!
The blend is good, but not great. The summer rose scent is pretty strong for those who like the smell of roses .)
Very light and crisp, not an overwhelming floral note.
I've only recently found a taste for rose flavors, and the rose in this is nice. It gets very tangy if you let it steep for too long. I'm not sure that I like the rose with just plain black tea. I added a scoop of earl grey and I like it better.
I tried this tea without sugar, with sugar, and with milk and sugar. By far I enjoyed it far more with milk and sugar. I used the amber sugar crystals instead of normal sugar.
this tea tastes just like rose shampoo smells, which isn't really a bad thing? i really enjoyed it!
A great black tea with visible rose petals that tastes amazing!
This tea was lightly floral- a great balance of black tea and rose.
This is a very delightful tea. I can't recommend it enough.
I loved the aroma of this tea, both before I brewed it and afterwards. It has a lovely rose taste as well, a beautiful spring or summertime tea.
The scent was wonderful I first brewed it. The taste was just as light, flowery, and nice.
Absolutely fantastic! This tea is very strong and very fragrant. I thoroughly enjoyed the taste and loved the rose flavor! The rose was not overpowering and has quickly made this my favorite tea. It also tastes good when mixed with a small amount of Earl Grey Lavender
I generally like floral teas, and I generally like black teas, but the combination of them together just did not work for me. It wasn't awful but I don't think I'll be getting this one again.
Love this tea, especially with cream and sugar!! The best part I think is that it actually SMELLS like roses! This tea is absolutely beautiful!
This tea is decent, I liked it. The smell of delicate rose petals is great.
This is one of the best rose teas I've had! Delightfully delicate. It made me think of sitting in a garden on a warm summer's day.
Smells like a real rose and Taste's Lima rose. Like it for a simple flavor
I feel like I could be putting too much tea or slightly over steeping because I'm getting some bitter aspects, but I have managed to make a few good brews, this tea has that classic black tea flavor that we all love with a hint of rose pedal that isn't overpowering at all.
I love rose tea and this one is one of my favorites. I enjoy it hot with milk.
I love it. Just the right amount of rose to be floral without being dry.
Evokes feelings of Spring and Summer. Some brews come out a little stronger then others. I'll have to mess with steep times.
Its okay, I got it for my GF and she says its one of the best teas she has ever had. I thought it was meh at best.
I love this tea! Neither the black tea nor the rose flavor overwhelm each other - they are balanced perfectly. I will definitely be buying more of this in the future!
Similar experience as other people: good, nice floral tea. Pretty strong floral taste, which I like, but it's a little overwhelming. Had to lower the percentage in my blend. Goes SUPER well with earl greys, though, so I definitely recommend that.
I love florals and I love citrus in teas. Florals always make me feeling like I'm sitting in the sun, drinking up the garden. Love this tea. A little more mellow for me, I usually like my flavors STRONG and on the verge of being overwhelming, but it's still really enjoyable.
I am usually a green tea drinker and dislike flavored teas, but I really enjoy this tea. The rose fragrance and taste give this strong black tea a very relaxing feel, without being per fumy.
This will definitely become one of my permanent favorites, I will be ordering a larger bag soon as I see myself running out of my sample bag in the near future.
A great rose scent and a great floral finish! I'm going to enjoy using this tea to blend with others and create new aroma sensations.
What a great tea! It is strong on rose flavor, which I love, and when I add sugar and almond milk to it it feels like I'm at a victorian tea party even when I'm drinking out of my DMMD Morphine mug.
This is one of my favorite teas. It's perfect with cream and a little bit of sugar.
Summer rose tastes like roses with the bitter after taste of black tea. Perfect as an afternoon pick me up tea.
I love this iced, i dissolve some honey in the water before brewing.
It's a great, fragrant, tea that mixes very well with others.
Summer Rose is a very floral, luxurious black tea. The rose flavor isn't too overpowering and the scent is beautiful. I love this tea iced with sugar!
I love rose flavored things. It's usually a nice light flavor. This was way too over powering for my taste. I couldn't finish my first cup.
Maybe it's because I love the smell and taste of rose petals, but I can't get enough of this tea.
I really enjoy the flavor and aroma of this tea. It really does make me think of gardens in summer. If you enjoy floral teas, this one won't disappoint.
Reminded me of the best rose tea I've ever had --- years ago. Would go well with biscuits or scones.
Shared this with my friends at a tea social. Big hit!
Beautiful blend of roses and black tea - this is one of my favorites ever. Definitely recommend
The smell of this tea alone is wonderful. It smells just like wild roses.
I really love this one! The whole experience is very luxurious. The pretty petals, aroma, flavor--the whole package. I like adding a touch of almond oolong to it!
I found it very refreshing in the afternoon when I was taking a meditation break. It was exactly as I expected. It reminded me of a tea I drank many years ago and loved.
what a wonderfully delightful tea...great for afternoon tea with some cream and sugar. very delicate flavor.
I really enjoyed this blend. The balance between the base tea and the floral note is very nice. This is one I'll be buying more of in the future!
Very good tea. A bit perfumy for my taste, but my husband loves it.
This tea smells like a rose garden! The rose scent is so lovely. Added with a little cream and it's just perfect.
Mmmm.. Very fragrant black tea that smells like roses! Need I say more? :-)
This tea is amazing! A beautiful blend of rose petals and black tea, this hint of summer rose smells and tastes incredible. I am so happy with this purchase. Thanks!
