TASTING NOTE

Damask Rose: The Incomparable Elegance of the Queen of Flowers

Damask Rose tea is not just any rose tea. It is a celebration of the "Queen of Flowers," the Damask Rose, renowned worldwide for the depth and nobility of its fragrance. At Lupicia, we have blended this precious essence with an exceptional black tea to offer a cup of rare sophistication, evoking the freshness of a rose garden at sunrise. An incredibly faithful fragrance to that of the original plant, it lingers beautifully on the palate, thanks to its delicate aromas.

The Damask Rose: A Treasure of Nature

The Damask Rose used in this blend is a noble variety, primarily cultivated in the famous "Valley of Roses" in Bulgaria.

  • An Authentic Fragrance: Unlike synthetic flavorings, the Damask Rose offers rich, subtly honeyed, and incredibly fresh floral notes. The natural aromas used in this tea are 100% extracted from Damask roses grown in Bulgaria.
  • A delicate harvest: The petals are hand-picked at dawn, at the precise moment when their essential oil concentration is at its peak, guaranteeing unparalleled aromatic intensity.

A base of Sri Lankan black tea

To enhance this floral fragrance, our experts have selected a black tea from Sri Lanka (Ceylon):

  • Its golden liquor and natural vibrancy offer a perfect contrast to the rose's sweetness.
  • The body of the black tea supports the floral aroma without ever overpowering it, creating a subtle and balanced harmony on the palate.

Aromatic profile

  • On the nose: An intense, fresh, and powdery floral bouquet, the signature of the Damask rose.
  • On the palate: A silky attack, followed by the lively structure of the black tea, with a long and elegantly floral finish.
  • Appearance: Amber, clear, and bright.

Why choose Damask Rose Tea?

  • Luxury and authenticity: A tea that uses one of the most precious ingredients in the world of perfumery.
  • Ideal Gift: Its romantic appearance and universally appreciated fragrance make it a perfect gift for any occasion.
  • A moment of serenity: The rose is known for its calming properties. This tea is a true invitation to relaxation and refinement.

Preparation tips

To fully enjoy the volatile notes of the rose, we recommend careful preparation:

  • Water temperature: 85°C - 95°C. Very hot water (spring or filtered) is necessary to release the aromatic bouquet of the Damask rose.
  • Infusion time: 2 minutes 30 seconds to 3 minutes. A short infusion preserves the delicacy of the petals while extracting the structure of the black tea.
  • Tasting: This tea is best enjoyed neat, to appreciate the true fragrance of the flower. It pairs wonderfully with delicate pastries or a simple square of white chocolate.

Specifications

  • Ingredients: Black tea, rose petals, natural flavoring
  • Tea type and origin: Sri Lankan black tea
  • Can be re-infused: 1-2 times
  • Best Before End: We make every effort to guarantee the highest possible quality and a delicate flavor profile, selecting only the finest raw materials. This tea has subtle natural aromas and intentionally has a short best before end date of less than 5 months from the date of receipt. These teas are flown to us to ensure maximum freshness and are all packaged in a protective atmosphere to guarantee a quality infusion, even if you open your package after the indicated date.

  • The Damask Rose: The Undisputed Queen of Flowers

    The Damask Rose (Rosa × damascena) is not simply a horticultural variety; it is a living legend. Renowned as the most fragrant rose in the world, it has been the ultimate symbol of refinement and elegance since antiquity.

    An Ancient and Noble Origin

    Although its name evokes the city of Damascus in Syria, this hybrid rose is now primarily cultivated in exceptional terroirs, notably in Bulgaria (in the famous "Valley of Roses") and Turkey. It was brought to Europe by the Crusaders, captivated by its enchanting fragrance.

    A Fragrance of Unparalleled Complexity

    What distinguishes the Damask Rose from other varieties is the richness of its olfactory profile:

    • The Notes: Its fragrance is deep, floral, with naturally sweet nuances reminiscent of honey and dried fruit.
    • Radiance: Unlike modern roses, which are often more visually striking than fragrant, the Damask Rose exudes a dewy freshness reminiscent of gardens at sunrise.

    A Harvest of Precision

    The quality of the aroma depends on an extremely strict harvesting ritual:

    • The Hour of Dew: The flowers must be hand-picked at dawn, before the sun is too high. It is at this precise moment that the concentration of essential oils is at its maximum.
    • Fragility: Once picked, the flowers must be processed immediately to preserve the volatility of their precious aromatic molecules.

  • Benefits and Virtues

    Beyond its taste and aroma, Damask Rose is prized for its properties:

    • Soothing: In aromatherapy, its fragrance is known to reduce stress and anxiety.
    • Rich in antioxidants: It contains flavonoids that perfectly complement the natural benefits of black tea.

     

    Why is it ideal for tea?

    Using Damask Rose in a blend like ours radically changes the tasting experience:

    • A Natural Aroma: Where other teas use synthetic, sometimes "chemical," flavorings, Damask Rose brings an authentic and refined taste.
    • Balance with Black Tea: The strength of Sri Lankan black tea provides a solid structure that allows the volatile notes of the rose to fully develop without being overpowered.
    • A Royal Aesthetic: The rose petals scattered among the tea leaves transform each infusion into a moment of visual poetry.

    By choosing Damask Rose tea, you're not just buying a floral tea; you're accessing a millennia-old sensory heritage. It's the guarantee of a delicate, exquisite, and soothing cup, where each sip transports you to the heart of the Valley of Roses.
