I love rose, so I'm always looking for a tea that tastes primarily of rose without other flavors becoming dominant or too acidic, like hibiscus. This is the perfect mellow rose tea. I couldn't really taste the saffron, but I'm not sure I've ever been able to taste saffron in anything, so it may be adding complexity behind the scenes or something. Best rose-centric yea I've found!
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 put a little honey in this and it is amazing. Not overwhelmingly floral. Just a hint of rose
I was surprised at how much I liked this tea. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I do. It's really refreshing and great iced!
I recently tried this tea for the first time and it was better than I imagined it would be. The saffron flavor is light and the rose flavor and aroma is perfectly balanced with the other sweet, fruity ingredients.
That's what my kids used to say as toddlers when I introduced a less than favorite food; "I can't like it." I'm afraid the same is true for ROT's Saffron Rose. I wanted so much to like this tea and I was excited for the sample pack to arrive. I enjoy both elements on their own- saffron and rose. Unfortunately, this one misses the mark for me. It borders on flavorless and weak. I recently purchased ROT's full leaf Rose Petal black tea, and that leans a bit towards the weak side. For reference, I am generally not fond of very strong tea, so these both surprised me. Still, for the win, I do very much appreciate the opportunity to buy the smaller sample packs. My budget doesn't allow for such pricey tea, but ROT keeps me coming back. I look forward to finding a winner or two in my next few samples.
I bought the sample because I am not a big rose fan. I was pleasantly surprised. I love it and will buy the full size. It has a beautiful aroma and a mild rose taste.
This tea smells and tastes wonderful. It has a mild rose flavor and the saffron compliments it nicely.
This tea smells beautiful! It has a mild and nice floral flavor. I bought a small sample pack, and plan on ordering more.
I liked that it was in a trial pack
