Tea Forte Vanilla Rose Loose Leaf

Tea Forté's Vanilla Rose is a delicately balanced white tea blend bringing together classic notes of vanilla, rose, and a hint of spice. This refined tea encompasses the elegance of English roses and mingles them with the indulgence of vanilla-dusted sweets at a garden party. Carefully curated with organic ingredients, it's a celebration of New York's finest botanical garden in all its historic glory.

White tea is a lesser-known form of tea harvested from the young leaves of the Camellia Sinensis -- the same plant that gives us black, green, and oolong tea. It differs from its counterparts in the moments after harvest: it undergoes little to no rolling or oxidation compared to the more rigorous process of creating darker teas from more mature leaves. As a result, white tea is the most fragile tea variety, and must be steeped for less time in slightly cooler water than other teas to bring out its true flavor. With minimal caffeine content and an almost gossamer appearance, this light tea is an excellent choice any time of day, and ideal for consumption in the later hours.

Opening with sweet vanilla, followed by a rush of lightly-spiced florals, and finishing with the distinct flavor of rose, this tea contains rose petals, vanilla pieces and fine white tea leaves. Inspired by the blooms of the New York Botanical Garden, Tea Forté Vanilla Rose was specially created for the Soleil collection in partnership with the historic horticultural institution.
