Tea Review – Mighty Leaf Mandarin Rose

By Robin | February 22, 2009

I had tea with a neighbor the other day, and it presented the opportunity to try something new and so the tea I chose was Mighty Leaf’s Mandarin Rose. 

Here is how Mighty Leaf describes it:

Mandarin Rose boasts a garden of aromatic, candy-pink petals and rich black China tea leaves that result in a delicate wine essence with hints of chocolate and rose. This exotic Mighty Leaf signature blend offers a fragrant and visually memorable experience.

Ingredients: Black tea, longan fruit, rose petals

Origin: China

My review:  This is a very high quality, whole leaf,  aromatic, tea with smooth body and a very unique flavor profile.  The fragrance is that of honeyed rose, distinct and not perfumey as some rose teas can be.  The tea is rich and full on the palate but not does not in any way diminish the subtle rose top note.   I will be buying this tea for my next gathering.
