Crafted on our California estate, Sierra Rose Black Tea is a delicate union of smooth, whole-leaf black tea and fragrant, hand-harvested rosebuds. The result is a cup that’s at once rich and graceful—malty warmth balanced by the soft perfume of rose and a lingering natural sweetness.
We created this tea using roses propagated from wild Rosa californica discovered along the Calaveras River. Their subtle, complex aroma offers a uniquely Californian expression of the classic rose-scented black tea—floral yet grounded, romantic yet pure.
Hand-picked: top two leaves and a bud from estate-grown Camellia sinensis var. sinensis cultivars.
16-hour wither at ~70°F to concentrate sugars and aroma.
Traditional rolling and oxidation to develop a malty, copper-toned liquor.
Blended with whole rosebuds
Origin: California
Type: Whole Leaf Black Tea with Rosebuds
Caffeine Level: Medium–High
Flavor Profile: Malted Honey · Rose Petal · Dried Cherry
Use freshly boiled ~205°F water.
First infusion: 3–4 minutes.
Subsequent infusions: re-steep 2–3 times, increasing time slightly with each round.
Enjoy on its own—milk will mask the delicate floral and honeyed notes.
Standard Pouch: Each 1 oz (28 g) pouch yields an average of 27 cups of tea when accounting for multiple re-steeps. At $25 per pouch, this refined experience costs approximately $0.93 per cup.
Teamaker Reserve Caddy: In addition, we offer a 1.5 oz stainless steel caddy as part of our exclusive Teamaker Reserve series. This offering is reserved only for the finest, most expressive batch of the season. Packaged in a stunning, reusable caddy, it is the presentation this exceptional tea deserves.
