The Republic of Tea Loose-Leaf Black Tea — Rose Petal Blend, 2.8 oz Tin, Floral & Brisk

The Republic of Tea Rose Petal Full-Leaf Loose Black Tea is a caffeinated loose-leaf blend of premium black tea, rose buds, and rose petals packaged in a 2.8 oz tin that steeps about 50 cups.

This elegant loose-leaf tea pairs whole black tea leaves with fragrant rose buds and petals to produce a floral-forward cup with the body and briskness of classic black tea. Packaged in a resealable tin, the blend preserves aroma and oils so you can brew single servings or multiple pots. It’s made from ingredients sourced from China and is labeled gluten-, sugar-, and carb-free.
