| The tea of my heart | May 13, 2013 | |
| I simply love this tea. I have tried other rose teas in the past, but this one takes the cake. The leaves themselves are a sight to enjoy, paired with the most beautiful rosebuds I almost feel guilty steeping it. The aromas are heavenly, the perfect amount of rose in the cup. Once brewed, this tea is just delicious. I've enjoyed it sweetened, but prefer to take it plain. The flavor of the roses is just so beautiful, and pairs perfectly with the china black tea. The second steeping of this tea is lighter, but equally aromatic. Just a beautiful tea overall. This is what I go to when I want to treat myself, or for special occasions. A wonderful tea. |
| Delicious! | April 01, 2013 | |
| My first cup was pure heaven! I love this tea, it's so fragrant and full-bodied. I love to inhale the aroma. I feel like I'm sitting in a rose garden in the dead of winter. My only regret is I didn't buy two cans. |
| Deliciously Rose | February 21, 2013 | |
| Beautifully subtle black tea with a rich and deliciously sweet rose essence--both fragrance and flavour are rosalicious A real treat--very special blend! Please keep it available for a long while?! |
| The Royalty Tea | February 18, 2013 | |
| I received this tea from my daughter on Valentines Day. I give Royal Tea Parties and I must say this is a beautiful tea blend. When you open the container their are actual rose buds in the tea. The fragrance is wonderful. I brewed as directed and allowed it to steep the full 5 minutes because I like my tea on the stronger side. What a pleasant surprise the fragrance of the tea was so comforting and floral that I couldnt wait to drink it and it was smooth and very delicious. May I say it was truly a royal cup of tea because it made me feel like the Queen that I am! |
| I love the taste! | February 14, 2013 | |
| I think the roses make this a really delicious change to just plain black tea. I've tried others with roses in the brew but this one is a perfect blend. |
| Almost perfect | February 12, 2013 | |
| The nice big rosebuds and rose pieces mixed with a mild black tea make a more balanced and smooth rose tea than some of the others I've tried. I prefer a slightly stronger black tea taste, but all in all this is one of the better ones available, definitely worth a try. |
| It's Like Potpourri | February 10, 2013 | |
| I am so sorry Republic of Tea, this tea is a fail for me. The reviews were favorable and so I thought I'd try it. I purchased this along with some others. As soon as I opened the container the "rosey" aroma hit me, then came the taste. It's like drinking a fragrance and not in a good way. I have loved all your teas thus far. The other teas I purchased are great so in the future I will stick to what I know. Thank you. |
| Rose Petal Black Tea | January 29, 2013 | |
| Reading: Very light and fregrant tea. Smooth not bitter. I loved it! |
| Delightful | January 25, 2013 | |
| This has been a delightful experience from the moment I opened the tin and the aroma of those wonderful roses entered my life. Because this tea has a natural sweet flavor there is no need to add anything to your cup except the tea itself. It has become my favorite cup of tea now! |
| Relaxing | January 23, 2013 | |
| I read the other reviews before buying this tea about how relaxing and "take away" this tea is. It was not until I experienced myself that I was amazed. The aroma in and of itself is perfect and you don't even have to drink it to start experiencing the pure enjoyment of it. Just opening the lid, all of your senses are taken away. It smells like a fresh bouquet, looks beautiful with the full petal presentation, and then...the taste and aroma make you feel relaxed and of royalty. So glad I tried this. I am forever a fan. |
| A whiff of summer in a cup | January 22, 2013 | |
| Just looking at this tea in the tin makes me happy - chock full of dainty pink rosebuds and rose petals. You can smell a field of roses with each sip- delicious! I'll definitely order it again next year. |
| Apothacary Rose Tea | January 21, 2013 | |
| Tasting notes of Apothocary Rose tea the Monks would have been proud to serve & preserve.. Outstanding!! |
| Best. Rose. Tea. Ever. | January 20, 2013 | |
| I ordered this tea for the first time last year, and just had to order it again this year. I've had other rose teas, but this one is the best; the rose flavor is present (with even some tiny whole buds), but not overpowering. The blend is perfection. The one downside is that it's seasonal and gone after Valentine's Day. |
| Wait All Year For This Tea | January 18, 2013 | |
| This is my favorite rose tea - and I have tried many others! Love it both plain and with a splash of milk. Also great iced during warm weather. I stock up whenever its available so I won't run out. |
| Too artificial | January 18, 2013 | |
| I did not care for this tea at all. The aroma upon first opening the can was very artificial smelling of preservatives, cheap perfume and red dye #2. I was very disappointed as i was looking for a clean tasting aromatic brew. All I got was the taste of preservatives, cheap perfume and red dye#2. I am considering sending this tea back but I have one other tea to try that was in this same order. Disappointed... |
| Amazing aroma and taste | January 15, 2013 | |
| Received this tea last week and had to immediately order one for a birthday present and a bulk order for myself. Have a dozen containers from R of T and this is my absolute favorite. |
| Worth the wait | January 02, 2013 | |
| This is the tea my wife and I sit down to when we want to have great conversation for the night. We mix with sugar and it has a shorter steep time. Only available once a year, it's something I look forward to in January. This tea is so good, I used to buy it out in the store when it came in. I can no longer find it in the store, so I buy a year's supply when it comes on sale. Buy a tin and you won't be disappointed. |
| DELICIOUS | December 06, 2012 | |
| I've had this before... from China. This is a great blend! EXCELLENT for a cold day. |
| perfect for tea parties!! | July 29, 2012 | |
| This is the perfect tea for a ladies tea party! It smells like a bouquet of roses. |
| I'm out of adjectives | May 11, 2012 | |
| I first thought lovely, then sublime- I love this tea. It smells heavenly, like walking through a rose garden, and tastes sooo good. It has become my favorite tea and my favorite gift to my tea loving friends |
| Flawless!!! | May 07, 2012 | |
| Tasted this at the MO Botanical Gardens and immediately went home to order the largest amount possible. It smells like roses and tastes like a smooth black tea. What else could you possibly want? The fact that there are rose buds in here makes me want to put it on display in a clear glass jar, but I don't know if that's good for the tea. I don't know much about tea or how to describe it, but all I can say is you have a fan for life with this one. It's smooth and it smells divine!! |
| Queen of roses | April 17, 2012 | |
| I have loved this tea since early 2000 when Republic of tea was with barns n noble. I love the flavour which makes you feel like your tasting smelling a rose. Sounds odd but that is the sence you feel when your tasting. I am however not pleased by the new packaging. I loved the picture. If it was transfered onto the white background it would be more appeasing to me. So for right now Im reusing my can. |
| rose petal tea | April 17, 2012 | |
| Each time I make a cup, I feel as though I've been transported to my own tranquil rose garden. Heady scent of roses with the robust flavor of fine black teas. |
| Love Rose Petal tea | April 15, 2012 | |
| I've been drinking this tea for several years now...one of my favorites! There's a delightful hint of roses in the tea...not overpowering...just right. |
| Rose Petal Black Tea | April 04, 2012 | |
| I bought this as the Queen of Hearts Tea, and this is my absolute favorite. Just breathing in the scent is a beautiful experience. I would love to scent my car with sachets made of it. I think it's the perfect blend of smooth black tea and roses. It's beautiful to look at too! I wish you would make this a regular tea! |

| different, fragrant, excellent |
| ok | March 24, 2012 | |
| it smelled great but flavor was not there. |
| wonderful rose aroma | March 21, 2012 | |
| lovely rose aroma with beautiful rosebuds in your cup. what a great way to enjoy an afternoon on a porch in the spring. |
| A Rose is a Rose is a aromatic tea! | March 20, 2012 | |
| Not only is this tea delightful, but beautiful to look at. I fell in love with rose tea years ago at teatime in London. It haunted me, so I am glad to finally find this tea. I hope I can get it year round! |
| Drinking Roses While In My Garden | March 19, 2012 | |
| I've been buying this tea for years and my favorite. It takes like my rose garden smells in June during the first bloom. I can't live with out it. I only wish there was a decaf so I could enjoy it in the evening also. |
| An aromatic experience! | March 06, 2012 | |
| Excellent - excellent - excellent! Once you open the package or tin, your senses are filled with the aroma of roses. What a wonderful way to wake up in the morning or take a break during the day - savoring the aroma and taste of freshness. This is my favorite tea for any occasion - fulled bodied black with the essence and presence of the wonderful roses! Yum.... |
| tastes as beautiful as it looks! | March 04, 2012 | |
| This tea is a delight for the senses! It is so beautiful to look at with the actual rose buds and petals that I nearly wish it were in a clear container. Its aroma is soothing and romantic, I could just put some into a sachet and place it in my lingerie drawer! The flavor is an equal match to its visual beauty and fragrance. Pull out your fancy English tea set and have a party because this tea is worth a celebration! |
| My Favorite! | March 02, 2012 | |
| This is my favorite black tea! Hands down. I'm a huge fan of flowers in my food and beverages and this lovely tea manages to perfectly capture both the scent and the flavor of a rose in full bloom. I highly recommend this tea to anyone!! Cheers! Blyss |
| I love this tea! | February 28, 2012 | |
| The first time I tasted this tea it was with friends at a delightful tea shop. I fell in love with its gentle flavor and aroma. I love curling up with a cup of this flavorful tea and indulging myself with a good book and a warm fire. I don't care for fruity type teas and this black tea with a hint of rose is right up my alley. I especially enjoy it with just a dash of milk, the way my dad use to drink it! |
| lovely rose aroma | February 27, 2012 | |
| lovely rose aroma with subtle taste of rose and rich black tea. would recommend to anyone that enjoys an afternoon of luxury with a wonderful cuppa. |
| A cuppa love | February 14, 2012 | |
| This cut leaf tea is beautiful to look at (pretty pink rosebuds), heavenly to smell, and delicious to drink. We have really being enjoying our cups of love. |
| Oh sweet delight! | February 14, 2012 | |
| Memory reminds us of roses in December. Come January, this tea does a fine job too. I purchased this tea while on vacation, and once in a while, pull it out (keeps wonderfully in the tin), and make up a generous cup. Lovely to watch the tea leaves unfurl in the infuser. This is what real tea is supposed to be like. Gently pinch the rosebuds for a little more flavor. A delight to the senses. Creamy, smooth tea with no tannic 'bite' at the end of the sip. Lovely hot or iced, or 'doctored' with cream and rock sugar. Share, but maybe only a little! And smile while you enjoy. |
| Aromatic and Pleasing | February 13, 2012 | |
| I have not as yet tried this tea, but my wifge finds it very pleasing and will be sharing it with some of our Rose Society friends. Pat M. |
| One of My Top Two Favorites | February 12, 2012 | |
| My daughter bought this tea for me for an early Valentine's Day present and we tried it last night! Well, we both agree, this is one of your BEST! Again, you have created a TRULY a wonderful drinking experience! I have been drinking the Ginger Peach tea for over 20 years and enjoy having friends and coworker try it and convert to drink Republic of Tea exclusively! We all agree your teas taste as good as they smell! I can't wait to have them all taste this bouquet of Roses! I went back and purchased more today to give as Valentine's Day gifts! THANKS Republic of Tea for all your fabulous teas! |
| February 12, 2012 | ||
| Love it, its so delicated to favor, you have made a wonderful tea for this season. |
| Summer in a cup | February 05, 2012 | |
| Oh this tea is a delight! The favor is complimented nicely with the roses - just dreamy. |
| Very Good! | January 30, 2012 | |
| I thought it was really good! The rose is not overwhelming and delicious. |
| The perfect romantic tea! | January 30, 2012 | |
| The rose notes were perfectly balanced with the black tea -- not overpowering, but definitely present. I preferred a shorter brew time; the longer brew was a bit too vegetal for me, but three-and-one-half minutes gave me the perfect cuppa. |
| A Most Delicious Treat | January 28, 2012 | |
| I have been drinking this tea for many years and I still wait eagerly for January so that I can buy a bulk bag and indulge myself. The rose flavor is perfectly balanced with the tea. Everyone who comes into my office at work comments on the bouquet. I am enjoying a cup as I write! If you've never tried it, please do; you won't be sorry. |
| Excellent Iced | January 19, 2012 | |
| This is my favorite tea. I had some last year that my son bought. I was very disappointed to find out it was seasonal when it was time to order more. So I have been waiting a long time to get it again! It makes great ice tea too! |
| The Best Rose Petal Tea! | January 19, 2012 | |
| I wait for January each year to stock up on Rose Petal tea and hope it will last until it is available again. I love it hot - sometimes with a little milk - and I especially like it on ice during the summer months. I have tried many, many rose petal teas but always come back to my favorite. |
| We love this tea | January 18, 2012 | |
| Lovely rose fragrance, perfectly balanced with good black tea. Beautiful to look at, good with milk and sugar. Not subtle or sophisticated, but absolutely charming. |
| Year of the Rose | January 16, 2012 | |
| I havn't tasted this one yeat. I have had other black tea Rose blends. And currently I am drinking Raspberry Rose Hibiscus tea. Well this is the National Herb Society Y of the Rose, so I am going to order this tea today. I'll write again after tasting it. I recommend all Citizens celebrate the Year of the Rose by trying this tea. |
| Wish it wasn't seasonal!!!! | January 15, 2012 | |
| I've been adoring this tea for many many years! I often give it as gifts to friends who soon thereafter become buyers themselves. The quality of both the tea and the blossoms are beyond top notch, making this a very special tea. I stock up every January. Hey Republicans... If you're reading this; SELL THIS TEA YEAR ROUND. PLEASE!!!!! |
| the queen of hearts | January 11, 2012 | |
| A delicately flavored rose tea. The taste is pure and delicious. It's my favorite tea! |
| Best Rose Petal Tea I've Tasted | January 10, 2012 | |
| This rose petal tea is superior to any that I have tried in over 30 years of drinking tea. I order a large bag of the loose tea each January so I can enjoy its exquisite aroma and taste year-round. This is also a family favorite of three generations of rose petal tea drinkers! |
| The BEST rose petal tea I've had! | January 03, 2012 | |
| I love all things that taste of rose. The sad thing is most rose flavored teas taste very artificial. Not this tea! And not only is the rose flavor extra nice, the tea itself is very good. Love it! |
| Really Tastes Like Roses! Addictive. | January 01, 2012 | |
| If you like roses, this is your tea. Stock up. |
| Perfest Peace in a Cup | December 06, 2011 | |
| A subtle, sensuous, delicious tea with floral notes and calming but substantial body - along with Jasmine Jazz, my favorite Republic of Tea product. |
| Rose Petal Tea is one of my favorite teas | November 27, 2011 | |
| I drink this as iced tea and is one of my favorites. I was disappointed that it wasn't available all year round. I will have to stock up for several months when available! |
| So delicious! | July 24, 2011 | |
| This is one of my favorites. I wish it were available year-round. |
| 2x's great, more please! | June 27, 2011 | |
| Love this tea and don't understand why you can only get it for the couple of months that you sell it. Roses are ready many more months than 3. |
