Rose Tea from Golden Moon

Rose Tea From Golden Moon Tea as described by the company/on their website:
Intoxicating and rich, our Rose Tea is a beautiful black loose leaf tea sprinkled with rose petals. It delivers to you an exotic floral scent and a light, florid taste that is divine hot or iced!

I received this as a FREE Sample. Here are some notes I logged on Steepster:

1st Taste:
Rose. A Rose is a ROSE is a Rose...or is it? I can't help but think of Teavana's Rose Marzipan Delight that I fell in love with a few months ago and then found out it was discontinued. Some Rose Teas I have had seem really bitter so when I feel in love with Teavana's it was because they had that little bit of candied goodness to off set the bitterness. Well, take out the Candied goodness and THIS is what you have. Not that THAT is a bad thing. This tea is actually quite good. It's not bitter and the black tea and rose compliment each other very nicely. Thumbs up!
I gave it 86/100

2nd Try:
I'm finishing up my sample today...boo hiss...parting it such sweet sorrow! Anyhow...I like this tea...it's good! I am going to see how many more infusions I can get out of this last bit tho!
2nd Try/2nd Steep:
Okay...so it's not-so-hot with multiple infusions...I think I will stop at 2. Still yummy just quite a bit weaker.

Green Tea Heaven by Teavana

A lavishly aromatic blend of Sencha green tea with strawberry, raspberry, rhubarb, and red currants. By adding a fruity sweetness to the naturally good Sencha, this tea becomes exceptional. You'll enjoy every cup!

How to Prepare
Use 1 teaspoon of tea per 8oz of hot water. Heat water to 175-180 degrees and steep for 1 minute. 2oz of tea equals 25-30 teaspoons.
Ingredients:
Sencha green tea with strawberry, red currants, raspberry, and rhubarb pieces.

Teavana described this tea on their website as the above but as you know we all have different tastes and interests. So below you will see what I have thought about it.

My First Attempt: It's Fruity and Fun to sniff, pale yet pretty in color. The taste is smooth but fun thanks to the fruit highlights. Green Tea Taste is more noticeable the longer you steep. I notice a hint of sugary taste as well. Creative Blend. Thumbs Up!
My Second Attempt: The Rhubarb and sencha tastes are really coming thru more. It's very nice...paired with the strawberry and raspberry. I find this to be a very delightful blend. Thanks Teavana!
