Rose Congou - Emperor

Rose Congou, The Emperor of Teas is just so good it makes you smile after every sip. A non-broken black tea from China, complex and rich its character is exquisitely delicate when infused.

Congou is now the generic name for a quality black China tea, but the original Chinese words... (kong hu te) translated means (elaborately prepared tea)

Scented teas have been around for a long time and are produced from recipes passed down through the ancestors, before essential oils were available rose was one of the easiest scents to absorb, the blooms would be collected from all around the plantation and scattered liberally into the tea, today the process is the same apart from natural oils are used to speed up and regulate the process ensuring a consistently great taste.

The finest tea is layered with rose petals in carefully monitored conditions to absorb the scent of the flowers as the traditional method.

Delicious rose congou

I was sent a sample of this tea with my first order of caffeine free earl grey with cornflower petals. Both teas are delicious and I have enjoyed going back to the old ways of slow infusion in a teapot rather than dunking a teabag. Relaxing and meditative.

Flavoursome tea

Cut above the competition. A fragrant tea of exceptional delicacy

Excellent flavoursome teas

The tea has lovely mild aromatic flavour with no trace of bitterness.
My wife and I love it.
