The jasmine tea gives it a soft, floral backbone that makes the rose petals feel delicate rather than perfumey, and the second flush tips add a smooth, malty depth. I brewed a pot for an afternoon break and the aroma lingered nicely in the cup without turning bitter even after three minutes. Exactly
The rose petals really come through on the first sip, soft and floral without turning perfumy, and the green tea base keeps it light enough for an afternoon cup. I've been brewing it a bit cooler than usual and the second flush tips stay smooth, no bitterness at all.
I wasn’t expecting the jasmine to come through so clearly alongside the rose—it’s a delicate balance that makes this feel more like a ritual than a cup of tea. The second flush tips brew up smooth and slightly sweet, no bitterness even after a few minutes. This is my new evening favorite.
