ワンス・アポン・ア・ローズ

The cinnamon and jasmine hit first, then the liquorice sweetness lingers just long enough. I've been brewing it in the afternoon when I need a break, and that white tea base keeps it light instead of heavy.

The whole rosebuds make this tea feel almost too pretty to steep, but once I did, the sweet liquorice balanced the jasmine perfectly. It’s my new afternoon ritual when I want something calming with a little caffeine kick.

The whole rosebuds actually unfurl in the cup, which makes brewing feel like a little ceremony. The liquorice and cinnamon balance the jasmine so the sweetness isn't cloying, and there's a definite caffeine kick to start the day.
