ROSE CONGOU
China rose petal tea.
About the tea
Rose Congou is a captivating black tea that marries the robust character of traditional Chinese black tea with the delicate fragrance of rose petals. This exquisite blend is crafted through a time-honoured process, where layers of fragrant rose petals are interlaced with the finest Congou tea leaves. This delicate layering technique allows the tea leaves to absorb the floral essence, resulting in a truly enchanting cup.
Upon brewing, the tea unfurls, releasing a rich, dark, and reddish infusion. The aroma is a delightful fusion of earthy tea notes and sweet, floral rose. The taste is equally impressive, offering a full-bodied and complex flavour profile. The initial sip reveals the bold, malty character of the black tea, followed by a subtle sweetness and a lingering floral aftertaste.
While Rose Congou can be enjoyed with milk, its true beauty shines through when brewed on its own. By savouring it black, you can fully appreciate the intricate nuances of the tea, from the robust base notes to the delicate floral top notes.
