This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is a family favorite and a wonderful gift; the whole family of my colleague whom I gifted this, gets into the tea ritual, and that includes two rambunctious little boys.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is one of my favorite Republic of Tea tea types. I like to add a splash of rose water to mine, and then I set an inhale it and drink it and inhale it some more. It tastes great with a sugar cube, but I usually just like it by itself. It's also wonderful as iced tea.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Upon opening the tin, I was delighted to find little rose buds sitting on top of the black tea. The presentation perfect, and the flavor is exactly what I had hoped for. The black tea and rose flavors complement each other in a delicate balance that is subtle yet well rounded. Highly recommend!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is my favorite, second only to chai. I would drink it all day if I could but have to cut caffeinated black tea off at noon or don’t sleep. I have had other rose tea where the rose is not even noticeable and this had a perfect balance for me. Please make a decaf version. I would buy that in bulk
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars What a sublime cup of tea! I wondered how rose and tea might combine, but I have to say it was a delightful way to start the morning. The aroma is heavenly. Highly recommend this to tea lovers.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This has such a strong rose flavor without being too perfume like, will be ordering again!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have drank this tea for years. I enjoy it both hot and iced. The rose is subtle
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I've tried so many different brands of black tea but this is my new go-to black tea, it's great cold or hot and so far everyone who I have had try it agrees!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This rose-infused tea has skyrocketed to the top of my all-time favorite teas. It perfectly balances the rich, dark notes of fine black tea with the heady aromas and sweetly floral taste of the tiny rosebuds. I make it every Sunday morning as my special breakfast treat. It's so flavorful, I can easily get a second brewing.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars My mom was recovering from COVID in this arrived just as she got home from the hospital. She said that it was the only thing that she wanted to drink for the first day. She loved the smell, and she said it made her feel like waking up when she thought about it. We are only a week out from her getting home and this is still what she wants to wake up to every morning. It makes me so happy that she is enjoying it as much as I do!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I really love rose tea. I have tasted multiple kinds of rose tea- rose tea with ginger, rose tea with hibiscus, etc.... This one is the best. Simple. Uncomplicated. Black tea with roses. That's it. That makes it perfect.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I don't think it has a rose taste to it. The tea leaves have a pleasant smell to them, but I don't think it smells like a rose. It has a fruitiness to it's smell. It makes an excellent latte. It's one of the favorites among the employees.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea has been in my top 2 favorites for many years. My youngest daughter and I love the taste and especially the smell. You open the tin and it's like someone just handed you a fresh bouquet of roses. I am constantly recommending this tea to everyone!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Me and my husband absolutely love this tea! It has been one of our favorites for many years. The aroma of the tea is just like a bouquet of roses.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Oh my gosh this tea is awesome. The aroma and tase are out of this world. It's a definitely a re buy for me
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS TEA. It's good hot, it's good cold, the amount of rose is just right. I could and sometimes do drink this every day. Absolutely one of my favorite teas ever right beside Earl Grey. Can't recommend this one enough
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I must drink it until I like the taste of tea tomorrow
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Last year, I received a gift sampler of loose teas that included a rosepetal black tea. My taste buds thought they'd died and gone to heaven! I finished the tea and was in despair until I discovered this one, every bit as delicious! Friends, it's like sipping perfume in a rose garden. This tea is robust enough to steep two cups from a teaspoon worth.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love the Rose flavor with the Black Tea. It isn't as easy to find. When my other Rose Black Tea source went out of business, I had to search for a replacement. This tea is what made me a Republic of Tea customer.
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars This tea is very nice but a little more "rosy" than I like. I combined it with some green tea and it softened the "rosy" taste a bit. Overall it is a nice afternoon tea.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love the loose leaf teas!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars It has a full body taste, great rose flavor and aroma.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I always try to keep this tea on hand. It has a lovely, strong black tea flavor with a deep floral note. It never gets bitter, even if I over-steep it.
This shopper rated the product 2 out of 5 stars Meh. Smells beautiful. Looks stunning in the tin - would make a great gift….but doesn't have much flavor. I brewed as instructed: at rolling boil, steep for a few minutes, 1 tsp per 6 oz. Even tried doubling the dosage. Still tastes watery. I prefer Dona's rose Black tea - nice & malty Black with a floral aftertaste. Maybe my tin was stale. Wouldn't repurchase.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Oh my! BEAUTIFUL little rosebuds and a delicious, smooth, authentic taste. Made for a very pleasant afternoon tea.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love the rose tea, especially this time of year when spring cannot get here soon enough. Sipping this tea, breathing in the aroma, is a taste of summer days!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is an excellent tea anytime. It smells and tastes as wonderful as it looks. A true rose scent and flavor.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love this tea! This is one of my morning go to teas. It smells like roses and has a wonderful rose taste. It really delights the senses!!!! Wonderful flavor with or with out sweetener and cream
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars The idea of rose tea may not be appealing at first, but if you enjoy flavored teas, you may be surprised by this one. I first discovered rose tea while enjoying a traditional high tea in Victoria, Canada and that started a search for a quality rose tea I could enjoy at home. I've tried several over the years but Republic of Tea's is definitely the best of all by far. It has a light distinct flavor and I like the surprise of finding tiny dried rosebuds in the loose tea. A perfect afternoon treat!
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars Truly quality tea — whole leaf, whole buds, lovely aroma. However, it's super strong in rose flavor, sweet and floral. It's a one cup at a time tea. Definitely only steep for the minimum so the rose flavor isn't as overpowering.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love the smell and the taste of this tea. I was worried at first it would be mostly a black tea with a hint of rose but the floral flavor really is the star. I feel like a queen when I drink this and I save it for special occasions!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea is beautiful with the rose petals amongst the dark tea leaves. Pleasant smell. Enjoy this for a mid-morning break.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea was very refreshing and delicious.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Fragrant, fresh, syrupy without being thick, perfect caffeine levels (soothes nerves instead of stirs you up). Glorious tea.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love the smell of roses. I have always found RoT to offer a very good quality black tea. So, pair that with rose petals and I'm in heaven. The steeping aroma is something I can not get enough of. The flavor is so good, soft and delicate, I just love everything about this tea and will be buying it again.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars My first rose tea experience was 6 years ago at a tearoom. it was sublime! I then spent the next 3 years searching for the perfect rose petal tea to keep in my pantry to transport me beyond worldly cares, as needed. I found 3 wonderful rose petal teas, including this one. This tea is superb both hot & iced. Sometimes I add a bit of lavender blossom and/or vanilla. Spoil yourself and tea-loving others.This tea is a lovely Valentine surprise..
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Our first exposure to this tea was last year. After enjoying the first can we purchased another. Very refreshing flavor and pleasant aroma.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is such a lovely tea to enjoy with friends and loved ones, or alone after a stressful day. The black tea is superb, and the rose petals and buds add a calming bouquet to breathe in deeply before that first sip. As much as I've pleasantly discovered and rediscovered over the many years, the most surprising thing is this: It takes away or at least diminishes the severity of my migraine headaches!!! The only other tea that diminishes the pain is the Beauty Sleep Chamomile Rose Tea. There is something about roses that literally calms the brain, lol! Seriously, I've offered this tea to people who dislike tea and have made converts of them from the world of coffee to the world of tea. The Republic of Tea's vast variety makes it very easy to find a tea that suits each person's tastes. I can't say enough about Rose Petal Tea. It is a tea that one must try for themselves, and is to be savored slowly, sip by sip. So smooth and relaxing, the fragrance alone draws you in.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love this tea and have ordered it multiple times over the years. It's a well-balanced blend, with a solid base of black tea and a strong floral rose nose and flavor. I'm not sure whether I like smelling it or tasting it better. If you like a true, deep rose flavor, this is the tea for you.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Great as iced tea...I need to try using this when making lemonade!
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars I find this tea very fragrant and I love relaxing with a warm mug of it. I prefer a five minute steep for this blend.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars The delicacy of roses floating atop a solid base of black tea is the best combination I've ever tasted. I drink a lot of teas, but this one is the tops. I steep for four minutes so the black doesn't overtake the rose. Exquisite.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I found this Rose Petal tea many years ago and it is my go to every morning. The tea is a China black so it packs a beautiful flavor and the aroma of the rose petals is absolutely delightful.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I like that it comes in loose leaf so you can adjust the strength to your mood. It tastes and smells like your drinking a creamy rose, in a very good way. I always have a canister or 2 on hand. I can't imagine being without it.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have never gotten a tea that I didn't care for, and love having samples to try new flavors, but this is my favorite! Great black tea flavored by the sweetness and scent of roses makes it a perfect choice!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Not everyone loves floral/rose flavored tea, but I do, and this might be my favorite. It's wonderful for multiple steepings. I've bought this several times over the years.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I do not know what is more relaxing the tea itself or the aroma while you are brewing/sipping it.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars One if my favorite teas!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love roses and this tea is deliciously fragrant, the rosebuds are beautiful and add a real rose flavor.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars The tea smells so good. Taste so good as well.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Fabulous sweet smell of roses. Wonderful flavor!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is my first time purchasing rose tea from The Republic of Tea and it is so delicious. I would definitely purchase again.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love mostly all flavored Black Tea and was super stoked to see this Rose Tea offered. I'm enjoying a cup of it now. This only comes in loose leaf which works for me as Black Rose Tea is not easy to find. Easily can taste the black tea and the rose, not too subtle and not too strong. If you're looking for something other than fruit or vanilla teas, try this floral tea, it's very good. Promise!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I am enjoying a cup of this tea now. I really like it and will keep it in my lineup.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is my absolute favorite tea! In no way am I exaggerating when I say it is the best tea I have ever had in my life. I keep two tins at home at all times. The moment I finish one tin and open the back up, I immediately order another. This was also a great gift to my mom and grandmother. They both agree that this is a very calming tea. I would highly recommend!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I've been a Republic customer since the days when they were the brand carried by starbucks (20 years?). They are the company that started me on my obsession (21 teas and counting) and this tea was the one that started it all. My dad and I picked up a can of this out of curiosity and that was all it took. No one does tea as well as the Republic and their rose tea is no different. I've tried dozens of rose teas since then trying to find one as good as this and I'll tell you it doesn't exist. If your a fan of rose as a fragrance you'll love this tea because it's an aromatic so you smell it as much as taste it. And it's great with a little milk to make a tea latte!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I've drunk tea for 40 years plus. Tea was suggested by my doctor in grad school as a substitute because coffee gave me a stomach ache. I like different teas, but found "my" tea about 8 months ago accidently, being given a sample at my tea shop. Black Rose Petal Tea is the best tea I've tasted in 40 years. I haven't tried any other flavor since I discovered it.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea blend is just what I was hoping for --- rich black tea base with a beautiful presence of roses --- an exotic experience. Most "Rose Petal" blends are either too "flowery" or too subtle. Republic of Tea gets it right!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love this tea. It reminds me of sipping a rose. I feel like a fairy queen when I drink it.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea is helping me get through homeschooling. I drink it every afternoon, because it makes me feel relaxed. It's exactly what you would expect from a rose tea. It's floral tasting and fragrant.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Mmmm! The scent of roses lifts my mood like nothing else. I think at one time you also had green tea with roses; I do wish you'd bring that back, so that I could indulge in rose tea even late in the day, when black tea would keep me up.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I got this tea at a local coffee/tea shop, and I was in love from the first sip. The rose is incredibly strong in such a delicious way - this is one of those teas that I just sit and smell for a while. If you enjoy the scent of rose, this tea was made for you! The flavor is also incredibly smooth and comforting.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love this tea!!! Exactly what I wanted. Very nice!!! I even bought a special cup just for this.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars We like rose petal (sometimes called Congou) tea for ice tea but it is often hard to find. I was delighted to see Republic of tea offering it! Hands down, it is the best we've tried. It has to be steeped the full 5 minutes or it is too floral. I don't put sweetener in mine but my SO puts in a little, about half of what he typically puts in regular ice tea. One note of caution, the rose buds seem to gather at the top of the canister. Make sure they are well blended or you won't have a good balance later on!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Love this tea! Not only the taste but the scent. Feel like in a flower garden of roses!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea is a nice floral scent when you bring the cup up to sip. Once you drink in the scent, your reminded of a wonderful summer breeze wafting over you. As your mind goes to that, you picture yourself on the front porch, sitting in your favorite chair. You receive a glorious scent of your roses that surround the porch you've cared for all summer. That beautiful scent of roses washes over you on your first sip. I highly recommend the rose petal tea, it made me feel all those things as I sat and enjoyed my first experience sipping on it. I had never had rose tea before and figured I'd treat myself. It sounds good doesn't? Well, it is glorious my tea loving family! ? ?? ?
This shopper rated the product 3 out of 5 stars The rose petal tea doesn't seem to have as much of the rose flavor as it did in the past and I wish it was available in the teabags
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love the aroma and pleasant taste of this delicious tea. Reminiscent of having tea in my childhood rose garden.
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars It smells like perfume, and is a little too heavy with the rose smell and flavor.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Wonderful taste, and a wonderful aroma. Not too overpowering on the floral, the blend is perfect. Will be buying again.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea is truly an experience. You open it up and the aroma of sweet rosebuds floods the air. And, no kidding, it tastes exactly like it smells - so light, delicate, and elegant. When I need a total calm me down break, this tea is incredibly fulfilling - Vivaldi's Four Seasons and Rose Petal tea.....ahhhhh!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I bought this tea as I found the prospect of the rose flavor attractive. I was not disappointed. When I opened the container I was met by the heady (but not overpowering) perfume, which I took some time to savor. The brew lived up to my expectations - just the right balance of tea (I am a black tea lover) and delicate rose flavor. I was left smacking my tongue for some time after. I enjoy this tea best brewed with just under boiling water, and sweetened with a little light honey. My (50 cup) container is now almost empty. I will definitely buy this one again!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is my first review here. I have tried multiple TROT blends... this is definitely my favorite. I drink coffee in the early morning, then green tea/matcha. This full leaf Rose Petal Black Tea is wonderful for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. The rose scent is bold enough to be tasted with the addition of whole milk. Love it!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love this Rose Tea. I hope they continue to carry it. It's a lovely scent and great flavor.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars A hearty black tea softened and sweetened by the addition of rose petals. I love to brew up a pot in the afternoon to fuel my work and studies
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars I had some rose tea at a Chinese tea shop, and found this at Republic online after wanting to have this at home. My only complaint (and why I rated 4 out of 5) is that the black tea isn't as strong as I would have liked. I have mixed a strong Irish blend tea bag in my tea at times when I wanted a little more "oompf" to my tea. But the smell is DIVINE! And if you use rose syrup to sweeten your tea it is even better!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I love seeing the little rose buds in this black tea. I take it with honey as a start to my day and to unwind in the evening. The rose flavor is prominent, but not over-powering. This is one of my favorite teas.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I stock up on Rose Petal tea when it is available because I'd hate to run out. It is still my favorite summertime iced tea but I really drink it year round. Have many other teas I really like but this is at the top of my list.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is by far the most delicious tea. You all-time favorite. Please don't stop making this tea!!!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have found the Rose Petal Tea the most enjoyable cupful that I have ever tasted. There are none better in at least 150 tries.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is the BEST rose tea I have ever had! Used to buy it every year until it wasn't offered anymore. I've spent all that time since trying EVERY tea I found that had rose in it...and it was ALWAYS a failure. I'm ECSTATIC to think that I might get some again!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is a lovely blend that has been my favorite for years and I still love it, however, I recently tried the Downton Abbey Blend and found I love it just a little beit more. Happy sipping.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars i really love this tea , but i wish you would put it in tea bags instead of loose. i make mine and add a peach tea bag and it is the best tea i've ever had. hot and cold.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I purchased my first loose leaf Rose Tea at Harrods in London. It was so excited by it, that to avoid losing it I kept the container in my personal carry on when I returned home. It instantly became my favorite tea and the aroma always brings a smile to my face no matter how dreary the day may be. When it ran out I thought I would only find it at Harrods. Unfortunately, the cost was simply staggering, leaving me without my favorite tea. I am thrilled to have found this Rose Tea with the same flavor and aromas as the one I brought home from London.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I first found this as part of a sample set, and fell in love imminently! Its so smooth and has just the right amount of rose to give you that sweet taste! I love rose, but I hate fruit-y teas, this is perfect.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea is SO GOOD. I had an impromptu tea party and based on its lovely fragrance, we drank this one first and it was a huge hit! It has a smooth rosewater taste, but is also a bold brew because of the black tea. I think it would be great any time of day, but is really the epitome of afternoon tea. If you like floral teas, don't hesitate to buy this one!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I just brewed my first pot of Rose Petal full leaf black tea. This is the kind of cup that reminds me of how very much I love to relax with a cup of tea. When I opened the tin, I was surprised (and a little concerned) at the amount of rose petals and buds. But not to worry! it is just enough to smooth out the black tea, not at all overly perfumed or flowery. This is a tea that makes me want to sit back, put my feet up, and just enjoy.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea stole my heart two years ago when I picked it up for the first time around Valentines day from World Market. Ever since then I have had a love affair with loose tea but this one remains by far my favorite. I was devastated when last year I went back to stock up on another tin and they had changed my beautiful Queen of Hearts to a rose tea with hibiscus and raspberry! (which they still sell here)Convinced they no longer made it and it was a glorious fluke I hoarded my remaining Queen of hearts, periodically checking back on the website to see if they sold it there. Last week I went on to see again and what luck! My love was back as a seasonal item! I was not letting her slip through my fingers again so I bought the bag, now I will be good through December of next year (according to the sip by date) I'll just have to remember to come back around valentines when I run out to buy myself another bag. Please never discontinue this lovely tea, I have not found another black loose leaf rose tea that is not muddled up with so many other tastes it is hardly a rose tea at all. Try this tea;you will not be disappointed. Not overwhelmingly floral like most teas (lavender) subtle floral rose flavor (I love the little rose heads in the tea) with the deep satisfying black tea.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars The tea you receive looks exactly like the photo. The taste is divine. I will always have this in my cabinet.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea is light and fragrant. With a great flavor. I'm a big English Breakfeast or Irish Breakfast tea. Well, any black tea really. But this is my ultimate favorite.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I find this a lovely mid-afternoon cup with a small snack! The rose scent and taste makes me feel happy!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars the aroma pulls you in but the taste is what keeps you going back for more....very flavorful, full-bodied tea....highly recommend..
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Wonderfully subtle and fragrant. I usually buy my rose tea from the Huntington Library and Gardens but this is much superior.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is my most favorite for black teas. It is so soothing and comforting.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I received a large bag of Rose Petal tea for Christmas a few years back, and loved it. Not only is it wonderfully delicious, it's a very pretty tea with rose petals and buds, and is fun to brew with my little teaspoon tea infuser. A great afternoon tea, and perfect with a sweet dessert. Just heavenly. I discovered it's only available seasonally, so I stock up when it's in the catalog.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is the BEST Rose tea I ever have so far. I am a tea lover and have been trying all kinds of teas. This rose tea doesn't taste artificial and it's very important for tea lovers. It has this very nice rose smell that will make your day happier! Some tea you taste it once and that's it. This one, I ordered another 1lb just so I have enough through the year!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea is delicious and it has such a beautiful rose smell.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I used to drink a rose black tea from China Town, but I think it had Gluten in it, so I haven't had it for years. This tea surpasses the prior tea. I wish there was a decaf version - I would drink it all day!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Reminds me of my Grandma. Used to pick roses from her garden for tea. Love it.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars The subtle scent of rose wafts through strong black tea like a cool breeze on a hot day in mid June. I first had this tea with a friend to celebrate our June birthdays. She has since passed on but I buy a supply every year when it's available so I can always brew a pot and remember her and our friendship.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Thrilled you brought this back again. I bought a little last year and discovered how wonderful this tea is. I managed to get one more bag of it before you sold out, but my supply was getting low. Now I should be set for a while.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is by far my favorite tea. It smells amazing and taste amazing! I love drinking it iced. Whole foods used to sell it but discontinued it. I buy the bulk one bc I don't want to run out! I hope they don't ever discontinue this off the republic of tea site.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I've been buying this tea for 4 years now, and after my first purchase have always bought bulk so that I can enjoy it year-round. It has a wonderful aroma and great taste. Also, it can take over-steeping without turning really caustic. This may be due to the rose petals in the mix. I work from home and I sometimes over-steep due to meetings, etc. in the midst of brewing my morning tea.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Absolutely delicious. I quilt in the evenings and like to have something warm but not coffee. This is just perfect. Warm, smells devine, I use just a little natural sugar or honey and it is a perfect dessert. Sometimes it's too good and I go back and add more water and still have great taste.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I am also obsessed with this tea - beautiful aroma and an elegant taste. Next time I am buying a larger quantity and I wish I could rate this lovely tea 10,0000
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is my favorite rose tea--delicate but with excellent flavor--it's light enough to drink even at night--not jazzed enough to keep me from sleeping
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I have absolutely fallen in love with this tea. The taste is delicious, and the scent works like aroma therapy. This tea has a black tea base so it does have caffiene, but I also find it a very relaxing cup of tea. It soothes and refreshes all at once. As a migraine sufferer I've also been pleased to note that it seems to relieve my headaches a bit as well. The only sad thing about this tea is that it is seasonal. I just know that I'm going to have to order one of the bulk bags with my next order while they are still available so that I can be sure to have this tea on hand year round.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This tea is one of my favorites. What a delightful experience ... such flavor!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I've tried many rose flavored teas - black, green and white and I keep coming back to this Rose Petal Tea as my favorite. I buy in bulk when in season to make sure I have enough to last all year. Love it hot with a splash of milk and adore it iced all summer long.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I saw the ad for this tea in an email I received from the company. I checked it out & then was afraid to buy because I don't like herbal or flowery teas. A local big supermarket sold a rose black tea so I tried theirs instead. It was good enough that it made me take a chance on the Republic of Tea's version. Like another reviewer said, this is by far the best. Immediately after getting it & tasting it, I placed another order for more of this limited-time tea. I've been drinking it every day since. I'm obsessed! LOL! I cannot wait to try other Republic of Tea's teas because this is just so good that it makes me want to try others from this company.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I first tried this tea in a book store when it was still Queen of Hearts Tea and have been looking for it ever since! It is just as wonderful as I remember it being if not more so now that I can make it in the comfort of my own home.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars needs more rose but very good i love it now my daughter does too
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I had this as part of rose milk tea at a library and I immediately bought a pound of it. But it's too bad it didn't last long enough until the next year. So I bought two pounds last Feb, and it only made it to November...so sad. Maybe three pounds this year?
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I was at a restaurant and tried a rose tea and loved it. i tried to find this brand of tea and failed. then I tried your rose tea and its as good as the other one, and my daughter is having a tea party in the fall, so I ordered 2 cans, I hope this is enought. I love this tea.
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars The scent of this tea is wonderful. I tried rose tea when recently in China and this is even better than that. It does not taste perfumey. If you love the smell of roses, you'll love the flavor of this tea.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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?!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Tasting notes of Apothocary Rose tea the Monks would have been proud to serve & preserve.. Outstanding!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 1 out of 5 stars 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...
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars I've had this before... from China. This is a great blend! EXCELLENT for a cold day.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is the perfect tea for a ladies tea party! It smells like a bouquet of roses.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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.

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars lovely rose aroma with beautiful rosebuds in your cup. what a great way to enjoy an afternoon on a porch in the spring.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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....
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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!

This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars Oh this tea is a delight! The favor is complimented nicely with the roses - just dreamy.
This shopper rated the product 4 out of 5 stars I thought it was really good! The rose is not overwhelming and delicious.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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!!!!!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars A delicately flavored rose tea. The taste is pure and delicious. It's my favorite tea!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars If you like roses, this is your tea. Stock up.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars A subtle, sensuous, delicious tea with floral notes and calming but substantial body - along with Jasmine Jazz, my favorite Republic of Tea product.
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars 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!
This shopper rated the product 5 out of 5 stars This is one of my favorites. I wish it were available year-round.
