Though I’m not very fond of this tea, it is something I'm glad I tried. I certainly could tell that I was drinking roses! I feel that some people may enjoy this product more than I, and the taste may vary depending on how it is brewed. It had a very strong and slightly unpleasant taste. It wasn't strong like the way coffee is strong, but more strong in the sense that the flavor itself was intense. It didn't really relax me or relieve any stress which is what was stated on the box, in fact it made me a little stressed out because I found myself forcing myself to drink it. Again, I can see this being a product some people will like but I suggest brewing it at a low temperature and having tons of sugar ready!
