This tea is a sweet and simple treat just in time for sharing with your loved ones. Large leaf, old growth leaves from Ai Lao Mountain are accented with whole wild roses to create a gorgeous and delicious tea. The resulting infusion balances hearty flavors of warm cedarwood with a floral touch and lush, malty finish. It can be prepared in a gaiwan with short, repeated steeps to bring out a progression of deepening flavors, or steeped longer for a rich, decadent cup that can stand up to the addition of milk and sugar.
We will have this tea available from Valentine's Day until Mother's Day this year.
