Roses amidst the Grasses

25Mar2014
Thé des Sables, the Rose of Damscus

70-deg, 3 minutes


Very light golden color. The aroma was of perfume at the end of the soak, matching the floral notes of the loose tea. The taste did not match the sweetness of the nose. Very balanced. Slight acidic with pepper and a mellow hint of green tea flavor.

Coppered Sweetness

7Mar2014
Flor de Oro FBOP, Argentina

82-deg, 5 minutes


Copper colored. Light in color and flavor. Taste is very mild and not at all bitter - balanced. There is a mild sweetness in the background that would make you think of flower petals. Nose is grassy.
