Greetings fellow tea-based lifeforms

[Rosaria]

Yes, yes! Hello! I am 25 and from Virginian mountains. I have a love for delicate teas and drink mostly loose leaf. Silver Needle is one of my top favorites. I rarely add anything to the teas, but sometimes spiking it with a little local wild rose infused honey is just right. Grew up on sweet southern iced tea, so you can hardly blame me.

Just to warn ya'll, I have a thing for roses, hence the name in Latin pertaining to roses and can also be loosely translated as Rose Garden. If a tea has a light floral taste, the more likely I am to enjoy it.

Welcome Rosaria(and fellow southerner) This forum is an amazing resource for tea and finding something you will enjoy. I can already think of so many teas to reccomend with the characteristics you enjoy!

I know! I have already been lurking here without an account for a while and finally got up the gumption to make an account. This place is addicting. Any recommendations would be appreciated! I need to spread out my collection of teas.

@miig
Oh, that looks lovely. Bet is smells fabulous!

Drank a black tea with rose petal bits for a while. Goes together pretty well IMHO.

Hello and thank you.

@thirst
Considering the topic of this forum, thought it was an apt title. What I generally refer to people that like tea anyways. I had a black tea with rose petals years ago- back 8th or 9th grade and was my second loose leaf. Was from Republic of Tea and I still have the empty canister. It was good while it lasted till I discovered properly prepared green tea.
