My Review:
I love the tins The Persimmon Tree uses. They really do a great job of keeping the tea fresh. I have some of their tea that is maybe a year and a half old and it is still very fresh.
I opened this tea and was met with a well stuffed tin of pretty pink rose blossoms and a mix of white teas. It appears to be silver needle and white peony. The picture is an accurate representation of what you can expect.
I used 1 1/2 tsp of leaf with water heated to 180 F and steeped for 3 minutes in my glass press. The majority of the white tea remained at or near the top of the water. The brew is a lovely yellow and is minty rose scented.
When sipping I first taste peppermint that quickly turns to rose. I next briefly catch white tea before it fades into a minty aftertaste. After a few moments I once again catch the subtle white tea in the aftertaste. The succession of flavor changes is similar to being hit with a sudden gust of wind that immediately changes to puffs of gentle breezes.
At first shocking then comforting. Rose and peppermint are at first kind of medicinal, then comforting and natural. I am not sure what botanicals are used here or what they contribute to the blend. I taste rose, mint, and tea. I looked up a few reviews by others that I trust and their experience was similar. Some did note that cold brewing brings out a very nicely balanced cup of flavor. I normally don't cold brew but I may use the leaf from this cup and give it a try.
I love peppermint in blends. I love white tea. Rose, well, I have learned to appreciate when it is handled with a master's touch. For me this is such a tea.
You can find Rose Mojito here.
