I got this on a whim, because it was on clearance and I was buying other studio Ghibli teas, and fell in love with the first cup 💕 it's a lovely rose tea, but the apple and lemongrass show up nicely as background flavors and it's my new favorite floral tea
This one was a bit overwhelmingly rose for me. I don't dislike rose but it was all I could smell and almost all I could taste. If you like rose but want a hint of complexity this is for you. I found it a bit disappointing though. I was looking forward to the other ingredients.
Received this tea as a sample with my order. I wasn't sure how this one was going to brew, but the rose scent and flavor is beautiful! As someone who enjoys rose, I found this tea delightful. It has a teeny bit of an herbal taste to it as well, but really it's just a nice herbal tea with rose in it. Apple is so nice in tea as it provides a smooth and slightly sweet base. Planning to order a full bag :)
