Dilmah Rose With French Vanilla Tea Review

Dilmah Rose with French Vanilla is a luxurious treat to the senses

Dilmah Rose With French Vanilla tea is a tantalizing blend of fragrant roses and sweet vanilla. As I sip this tea, I envision myself in silk PJs, sitting on a bed under silk bed sheets, indulging in a rich, creamy dessert.

If you are not a fan of floral teas at all, especially rose, then this one’s probably not for you. I am generally not big on floral teas myself. But I was pleasantly surprised by this tea. The sensuous aroma of the tea hits the spot without being too overpowering.

With each sip, you can’t help feeling a vibe of extravagance, with a touch of romance.

Brewing Conditions for Dilmah Rose with French Vanilla:

For the best results, you should follow Dilmah’s recommendation to use boiling water. I found that using a lower temperature does not extract the full flavor from the teabag, despite longer brewing times.

You should steep the teabag for 2-3 minutes in 250 ml (1 cup) water under a covered lid for a light brew. For a stronger brew and more intense fragrance, you can steep up to 4-5 minutes.

However, a longer brewing time can result in a bitter aftertaste. So it’s essential to find your ideal balance. For me, 4 minutes was the perfect sweet spot.

Aroma (5/5):

The aroma of this tea is nothing short of enchanting. Upon opening the bag, I was immediately greeted by a potent bouquet of roses, complemented by sweet hints of vanilla. It’s a sensory delight that sets high expectations for the taste.

Taste (4/5):

Dilmah Rose With French Vanilla offers a smooth, velvety texture. The taste of black tea, however, was not that strong. Adding a spoonful of honey will really elevate the flavor. But if you don’t like sweet teas, then you might want to be sparse with the honey.

You want to drink the tea within 15-20 minutes as leaving the cup out can create quite a bitter aftertaste.

Packaging (4/5):

The Dilmah Exceptional Rose with French Vanilla packaging is visually appealing with its vibrant magenta color and delicate floral silhouettes.

The teabags come in an aluminum foil pouch that protects the tea’s flavor from light, moisture, air, bacteria, etc. Additionally, Dilmah promotes eco-friendliness with 100% biodegradable teabags for their Exceptional teas.

One drawback is that once opened, the packet cannot be resealed. So. transferring the teabags to an airtight container is necessary to preserve the tea’s aroma.

Value for Money (4.5/5):

At $9.99 for 20 teabags, Dilmah Rose With French Vanilla tea offers good value for the quality and flavor it delivers. It’s an affordable luxury that’s worth the occasional splurge.

Caffeine Level: Medium

This tea is best enjoyed on afternoons when you’re in the mood for a treat and relaxation. However, it’s not suitable for bedtime, as it contains caffeine due to its black tea base.

Food Pairings:

Dilmah Rose with French Vanilla tea pairs wonderfully with a very light cake or cookie. Something heavier might be overkill as the tea already has a strong flavor.

About the brand: Dilmah

Dilmah is a Sri Lankan tea brand that is available in 105 countries. This company is committed to sustainability, as evidenced by the lack of plastic wrapping on the box and its use of 100% biodegradable teabags.

Furthermore, Dilmah is well known and has won multiple awards for promoting ethical and sustainable practices in the tea industry. Dilmah claims to be carbon-neutral and aims to be carbon-negative in the future. It’s a good brand to buy from for the environmentally conscious consumer.
