Thursday Teas: Lokelani by Lupicia

This week's selection is Lokelani, an exclusive blend for Lupicia in Hawaii. 

This is was my favorite of all the teas I originally sampled from Lupicia and the reason I went out of my way to visit Lupicia in the first place.  Lokelani is a small pink rose which is the official flower for the island of Maui.  This tea has dried mini rose buds in it and a very strong rose scent and a light fruit and spice scent.  (The company insert says it is flavored with bergamot oil and passion fruit.)

I am normally not a fan of flowery teas.  I especially dislike jasmine teas, but this tea tastes like tea and smells like a rose.  It's really pretty.  The instructions said to steep for 3-5 minutes but I like a stronger tea and leave it in an extra minute.  Yummy yummy yummy!!!
