Such a beautiful tea and the color is stunning. Very delicate flavor and wonderfully soothing. The fragrance is amazing with the saffron really shining through!
An unusual flavor combination, smells heavenly
It's okay. Definitely can taste the natural flavor.
did not taste neither saffron nor rose
This will be one of my staples. It has a delicate floral aroma, but the flavor is rich. Perfect for an evening sip.
Very refreshing, unique. Floral without being overbearing.
I really wanted to like this tea but I’m having trouble finishing the can. It’s more savory in my opinion because of the saffron
I bought the saffron tea because it's suppose to ward off macula degeneration of the eyes, which runs in my family. Not sure why they add rose to this tea, not a big fan of rose.
Obviously, since I bought the 250 tea bag size, I am enjoying the saffron rose tea. As soon as I tried it from the regular tin, I knew I would be hooked. The aroma is the rose. The taste is a slight sweetness...not sugary...almost tasting like flowers. It is the perfect end-of-the-day, cozy evening sip. I love to put frothed almond milk in it sometimes. Delicious either way.
A very nice floral tea. You can definitely taste the saffron and its wonderful.
I love this tea. The only problem is I have to use two tea bags and there's still just barely enough flavor.
This is exceptional tea; the blend is perfection! It's great with or without food. It pairs nicely with desserts because it adds a light taste that doesn't overtake the goodies.
This tea is delicious! It is smooth and doesn’t need any sugar or honey.
Truly a favorite. A tea I never want to be without.
This is truly a calming tea. I've been drinking it in the evening for more than a year. It calms my mind and helps me to sleep better. I highly recommend it!
I love this tea. Saffron elevates the mood. I like to combine this with camomile and milk thistle. When I take a hot soak I like this combo and hibiscus over ice with some fresh grapefruit juice in a mason jar.
Good smooth black tea
Delicate floral taste
I love this tea--it has a strong rose flavor without being overpowering, and is very refreshing. I've been having it after dessert without sugar and it's leaves my mouth feeling fresh.
This is a favorite of mine, especially after a long day! I love the floral taste and the saffron blending into the rose essence. After a couple of sips, I don't remember how tough the day may have been.
I didn't know what saffron tastes like so I bought the Sampler bag to try this tea. I can taste the rose with a hint of flavor that must be saffron. I enjoy this tea in the morning and it tastes good with all my breakfast foods.
This tea is very rosey. I personally didn't get a sense of the saffron, but saffron a delicate and sweet herb in my experience, so I can see the rose overtaking it. Sipping on this tea, the floral notes would persistently stay in my nose, even after finishing a cup. I like a little rose once in a while, but this blend was too much for me. If you are a big fan of strong florals, this is the drink for you! But for me, I daresay, it was not my cup of tea.
I Purchased this for myself and a friend. Our birthdays are in June. Our flower is a rose!! This is such a wonderful tea. We both love it
I enjoy this tea.
Very good bought more
My partner loves this to help him relax.
Delicious! Another favorite added to my collection of teas.
Got it for medicine if my depression gets bad. Saffron well known as a natural antidepressant, and rose is always welcome.
Bought the sampler to fill my cart up for free shipping. So glad I did, this is a delicious, dry delicate herbal tea, redolent of rose and saffron.
New to us, we ordered the Saffron Rose and are very pleased to make it an addition to our herbal tea collection. It's fruity with a subtle flavor (saffron?) that makes the tea more complex and interesting.
I do enjoy this tea. I bought the sample pack ( 5 teabags) to determine whether I would like it and whether it was the price. The taste is smooth, light , with a hint of saffron and rose (i.e. it is not overpowering). With that said, I think the price ($17.75 for 36 tea bags) is a tad pricey. Not sure if I will be buying it again because of the price . The taste is wonderful though.
Wonderful, delicate taste
this tea is delicious. It has a sophisticated but comforting flavor I really enjoy. I'm just SUPER disappointed I can't buy any fewer refills than 250. I cannot justify dropping $100 on one tea (I have a cupboard full of different flavors).
My favorite after dinner tea. Its elegant rose scent translates to the tea without overpowering or tasting too floral or perfumed. The saffron balances the west notes with a woodsy and exotic depth. This tea is as relaxing and indulgent as a glass of fine wine.
This is a beautifully aromatic tea. It's like the Rose Petal tea, but with lighter rose flavor and a light saffron spice. Very nice and comforting tea.
Very mellow and light! I bought the sample pack because I was intrigued by the idea of a Saffron tea but not certain I would care for the taste. It wasn't as strong as I feared it might be, and it had no abrasive or harsh flavors in my opinion, but I can see where it is not for everyone. I will likely never decide to purchase in bulk, but I know for a fact that at a minimum I will certainly enjoy the four cups of tea I have left.
I thought the saffron was a bit overpowering.
While waiting for my saffron plant/bulbs to grow,=( by far the most expensive spice @ $16.oo+a gram) !! - I saw my ‘favorite’ tea co. had this tea. Tried it, very mellow, good, & 1 you’ll never tire of, ( or send it to me !)
Love the rose and saffron! Perfect blend of the two flavors. Love as a evening tea
R of T’s unique subtle and smooth sipper features an elegant blend of unexpected palate-pleasing delights! With an exquisite scent and sweet fruity-floral flavor topped with a savory, sophisticated flourish of spicy saffron, this heavenly herbal infusion has a plethora of healthy benefits that can be enjoyed cup by cup or as a creative addition to one’s favorite recipes.
I bought a sampler of this tea because after reading the reviews I feared the rose would be overpowering. However, I am so happy I did buy this. I feel this tea is wonderfully balances between the saffron and rose flavor and has a nice light and refreshing flavor to it. I have now bought a whole tin of it.
I have no clue what saffron tastes like but it must be good because I like this tea a lot. Not for someone who dislikes floral flavors because the rose is really prevalent but I love that!
I love the tin and refill it. So eco positive. The taste is smooth and slightly sweet. Just like I like it in the middle of the night.
Great product
I tried a sample pack of this tea, curious about it. It tastes like something a kindly older lady would serve at a fancy tea party. Sweetly floral, sort of odd, but not bad. Not my usual flavor profile, but not something I'd turn down if offered.
Love this tea! Flavor is the right balance, not too mild or too strong. Tea is great paired with shortbread cookies.
The flavor isn't as "cooking spices medley" as I was expecting. I like this one a lot, and I wasn't expecting to. Purchased because of health benefits, but this is a self-care tea too.
Nice delicate rose flavor with some bold saffron! Nice golden color and a fun, unique tea!
Gorgeous bright yellow color with a wonderful hint of rose. Very satisfying! I tried the sample & put this tea in my cart for my next purchase.
I heard this tea is good for eyesight and especially preventing or slowing macular degeneration. I got a sample to try and ordered it right away. It was out of stock, but fortunately I was notified it was back in stock long before the actual expected date, probably because of the high demand and ROT likes to keep their loyal customers happy. It has a nice, sweet taste, is very mild and the color is a beautiful surprise, a very vivid golden. The smell is nice, and it is also good with milk, which slightly changes the taste, so it is like getting two teas in one. I am happy to say my eyesight has improved since taking this tea once a day. I use a 10 oz mug with two tea pouches. I will order this one regularly. It works and tastes good. I even told my eye doctor about it.
taste great
I have never tasted a tea like this one; it has a very pleasant taste. The saffron is what makes it so special.
I am not super into rose flavor or scents, but figured I would give this a try as the 5 bag sampler. Pleasantly surprised that I really liked it!. Definitely has a strong rose flavor, but comes off very calming and great for a bedtime tea.
I suppose this is inspired by Middle-Eastern flavors? Great idea! It's very exotic and smooth and slightly sweet. I serve it with desserts and everyone has something good to say about it. Great company tea!
I love the tea when it's hot, it's very comforting.
This tea has a subtle sweetness. Such a lovely fragrant experience.
This tea is delicious and delicate. The notes of saffron and rose were wonderful. Loved it so much, convinced my friends to purchase some.
I had previously tried this tea in a 5 pack sample, and it was very tasty. I bought tea for my two nieces, and while one chose her tea, the other was indecisive. I remembered this one, and I think she'll love it.
I bought the saffron tea because it's suppose to ward off macula degeneration of the eyes, which runs in my family. Not sure why they add rose to this tea, not a big fan of rose.
The rose flavor smells and tastes delicious - a perfect tea to share with a friend. I added a little honey to sweeten and it was still complex and rich.
Gentle, fragrant & Lovely. Wonderful + health benefits
I added this tea within the past few years. I really enjoy the flavor.
This tea just tastes Beautiful.. like drinking roses!! I recently added agave nectar to this and it enhances all the flavors..
This is one of my very favorites from ROT. I ordered a 5 bag sampler to try and immediately ordered more. Also wonderful iced.
This is my favorite daily tea! I enjoy the flavor of this tea. I highly recommend.
I ordered this because of the positive reviews and am glad I did. This is a smooth and flavorful tea. I love it.
This tea has a very refreshing flowery-yet-fruity flavor that is delicious both hot and iced. Very enjoyable sip for the afternoons and evenings.
I was very curious about this tea. I like rose teas and the saffron was intriguing. The flavor is complex and smooth but do I taste or smell the rose? Not so sure. It's lovely, just not one of my favorites.
I tasted Saffron Rose via s couple of samples and I am pleased that I did, because it is a tea.that is expensive enough that I would buy it as a gift for someone else rather than for myself. This is a tea to share with special friends snd family members. Saffron Rose tea is uniquely delicious! I found it to be fragrant, smooth, inviting and soothing. Don't be scared away by the price. Taste a sample. You may be very pleased that you did
I looove this Saffron Rose tea. It tastes beautiful. I found that a few drops of the agave enhances the apple flavor..
I'm a very picky tea drinker. And the teas I purchased so far are amazing. My 2 favorites are: Safran with rose and green tea ginger peach decaf. The fragrance and taste are impeccable. I certainly will be stocking up with more soon.
I love rose teas, but had never had one combined with saffron. The smell as soon as you open the tin is just so lovely.
Such a pretty golden color, and tastes great hot or iced!
I love this aromatic tea. It is full of flavor and an after dinner delight. Whenever I'm running low, I order a refill!
Saffron Rose is a remarkable herbal tea. It isn't a strong rose, but the blend is delicious. I don't usually add milk or cream to an herbal tea, but do add it to this, along with some honey. A delicious treat!
We enjoy this tea with milk, and sometimes just as it is. It's good hot or iced! It has a light floral taste but is still smooth. The saffron gives it a warm golden tone, and you can pick up on the rose but it's quite balanced. We enjoy it also because saffron and rose are both reported to a mood enhancer, and we notice a calming effect.
I remember the first time I encountered saffron in a tea while visiting the island of Crete. There it was blended with honey and was pretty divine. This is the closest thing I've found since, and combines two of my favorite flavors in one tea. I love this tea, it's floral and soothing. I had one tea bag explode in my cup and that wasn't so much fun, and hope that was a one-off. Definitely a great tin to have in the cupboard, otherwise!
I wasnt sure what to make of this at first because at the time i never had rose tea before but now its becoming one of my favorites. The rose flavor is stronger then the saffron but it does blend well together. I mix it with a bit of honey Overall it taste great
This was not for me. I purchased it because I love paella and saffron, but this tasted too overpowering for me. However, because of this purchase, I discovered just how amazing the Republic of Tea service is. I was able to exchange it for something else, and I have NEVER seen any other tea company do this. I really appreciated it and it was when I switched from another brand to being loyal here. It takes the risk out of exploring new options with less worry about not liking something. Thanks for being so great, RoT!
Wasn't sure about the saffron in tea but it was wonderful. And It's herbal, no caffeine. I hope this flavor stays for a while.
This tea has a nice deep rose aroma and I liked that the rose taste wasn't too overpowering. The saffron blended well with it and made the rose even more lovely to enjoy. Great tea!
This tea provides a magnificent taste experience with its delicate combination of saffron and rose. Since it doesn't have any caffeine, I can drink endless amounts of it. There is comfort, satisfaction and relaxation in each cup of this tea.
I had previously had the Saffron Rose tea as a sample and it was so good that I had to buy the tin. I also enjoy as iced tea.
I had this tea at a friend's house while on vacation and immediately fell in love! The rose is just perfect with the saffron and I add a bit of honey. Perfect for any season!
I can't explain it but it reminds me of wine. I love it in the evening!
I pair this with a saffron pistachio blonde brownie that is a favorite of my husbands that I make. Brought out the flavor of both tea and brownies
Not sure how to describe this tea but unique.
I had this tea before that's why i re ordered because it's smooth and delicious
Very little flavor. Did not taste saffron nor the rose. Mostly tasted of grass.
I love this tea so much it's comforting and floral and just exactly what the name says! It tastes of roses and reminds of a beautiful English garden every time I drink it. It's delicious plane or with milk and I appreciate it being free of caffeine.
Delicious but subtle The apple brings a hint of sweetness and the floral from the rose complements the saffron. Mild and mellow and relaxing.
Wonderful thank you
Bought this for the Rose.....really searching for a tea that has the smell of a rose taste....not sure that is something that can ever be accomplished. Please keep trying!
Words can not even come close to describing the spiritual delight that is encapsulated in this tea. This is my go to for when I meditate and when I need to show myself that extra self-love...
I absolutely am in love with this Saffron Rose! The combined flavors are subtle but noticeably there and balanced. Seems to also affect my physical, mental & emotional body with great tranquility. This one I hope you'll keep in stock if possible. Knowing that real saffron is quite expensive, it is well worth the extra few dollars! I use two teabags for a 12 oz cup.
It's a soft, mellow, even soothing tea. The flavor is wonderful. It just wasn't as strong as I wanted it to be. Mostly what I got was the rose flavoring. I expected more. I wanted it to be richer.
Solid mix of slight sweetness, complex and flowing florals, subtle and unique earthiness of saffron, with a smooth finish. Absolutely wonderful.
I enjoy rose black tea, like the flavor of saffron in cooking, and enjoy drinking a few cups of herbal tea each afternoon so decided to try this and I really like it! It's a complex but very balanced mix of flavors, the components don't overpower each other at all, yet so smooth and warm. I added a little stevia which brought out the flavors more. I will definitely be back for more of this because it's going to be one of my afternoon go-to teas! Please keep this tea around as it is a winner!
This tea is a very interesting, complex yet subtle blend of flavors. I can taste a little sweetness, but it is not assertive enough to define its source. The other flavors create a nice, balanced background. It's really hard to describe the flavor of this tea - the flavors blend so well. My husband and I have been enjoying it hot. He adds a little sweetener to his, I enjoy it as is.
