Fig Rose

Name:  Fig Rose


Brand:  Teavana


Primary Type:  Herbal


Dry Scent:  Very figgy, with a little tropical sweetness from the pineapple, a little nutty scent of almonds and a very light floral from the rose petals. It's a lovely scent though, and almost Christmassy, although probably that's because of the dried figs, which always make me think of the holidays.


Steeping Time:  6-7 min


Steeped Flavour:  This is sweet, although not so much that it tastes like fruit juice.  There is a deep, ruby red colour which tells the tale of hibiscus, but there's little enough that the flavour blends nicely in with the rest of the fruits in this infusion.  The tea itself is very smooth on the tongue, almost silky and a little thick.  Very nice.


Food/Drink Pairings:  This would go nicely with breakfast, but it's also really nice after dinner as a replacement for dessert.  It could possibly pair with something like a fruit cobbler or pie, but nothing too sweet.


Rating out of Six Tails:
5/6
