玫瑰柴茶

I was worried the rose would overpower the spice, but it's the opposite—the clove and cardamom come through first and the floral note just softens the finish. That sweet clove ending is what keeps me coming back for a second cup.

The rose petals are what sold me—they soften the bold spice just enough that the clove sweetness lingers without being heavy. That bright cardamom hit on the finish keeps every cup interesting.

I brewed this as my afternoon pick-me-up and that clove-sweet finish is really something else. The rose is present but the cardamom keeps it from being too flowery. I’m already on my second tin.
