The Tao of Tea Rose Petal Black Loose Leaf Tin 4 oz.

Rose Petal Black, also known as 'Meigui Hong Cha', is a rich blend produced in late summer when the roses are in full bloom and at their most fragrant. Rose Petal Black uses Keemun tea from Qimen county in Anhui Province, best known as the main ingredient in many English Breakfast blends.

Although there is a whole universe of rose varieties and flavors, they believe the ideal petals for combining with Keemun come from the red roses native to Qimen county. They have a distinct sweet, cooling aroma that lends great balance to the brew.

Rose Petal Black pairs well with rich and slightly spicy foods. It also makes a delicious iced tea. One of our favorite recipes is to prepare a simple syrup from Rose Petal Black and serve it over vanilla ice cream.
