Rose Mandarin White is a blended white tea that brings together three ingredients: aged white tea from 2012, mandarin peels aged since 2016 (chen pi from Xinhui, Guangdong), and rose petals. The aged mandarin peel is the star here — Xinhui chen pi is prized in Chinese tea and medicine for its citrus depth, and eight years of ageing has given these peels a rich, sweet quality.
The combination works because each ingredient does something different: the aged white tea provides a smooth, rounded base; the chen pi adds citrus complexity and a warm undertone; and the rose petals bring a light floral finish. It's a layered tea that reveals more as you brew through multiple infusions.
How it tastes
Citrus-forward with a smooth body and a sweet finish. The mandarin peel dominates the first infusion, then the white tea base comes through more in later steeps. The rose is subtle — it's there in the background, adding a gentle floral note rather than taking over.
A note from Joanne: "I've included this in our Evening Sampler Pack because it's one of those reliable evening cups. The aged chen pi has a warming quality that works well after dinner, and the caffeine is low enough that it doesn't keep me up."
Available at our Salamanca Tea Bar — come try before you buy.

from 137 reviewsI’m really enjoying this tea. Very smooth, an incredible tea to taste. Highly recommend. Will definitely repurchase and continue to try other teas you recommend. Thankyou
This is seriously a lovely tea. Smooth flavour and no bitterness at all. I usually like milk with my tea but no problems without milk at all. Will definitely purchase again. Thanks
This is a really handy little flask. Just the right size and the temp gauge is a great addition so you know how hot the contents are . Not too big or small just right😄
I love smokiness in most things so when I saw this Lapsang Souchong Original Smoked I grabbed a sample to try and I was blown away.
From the moment you open the packet the aroma of the smokiness hits front and centre.
With smallish leaves I eagerly brewed up. I was presented with a beautiful full amber liquid and the smoke hitting my nose was welcoming.
The only way I can describe this tea is it brings back memories of camping down by the creek on our farm burning pine cones. It’s like a warm hug being able to taste the smell. It reminds me of the smokiness in your clothes once you walk away from that fire.
Full bodied and lovely mouth feel.
I want to write this because I am genuinely impressed with the service I received.
I had an issue with one of the teas I purchased and I emailed A Moment of Tea about it. That morning I received a email back from Zachary profusely apologising about the mishap. In the email Zachary thanked me for the email because they actually found an issue in the OS supplier and worked towards a solution with them that day.
Zachary took the time to explain to me the process as to how this tea was produced and why the issue occurred and what’s happening to fix the issue.
To say the least I was blown away and again would like to thank Zachary for the communication through email. I highly highly recommend anyone with a Chinese Tea love to purchase from here as the teas I have tried so far are top notch. Tea reviews coming.
Jasmine Dragon Pearls / Buddhas Tears - Very subtle Jasmine comes through.
Lapsang Souchong Original Smoked - It’s like getting a hug from the camp fire on your camping trip. Immediately bought back memories of camping and having that smokey smell through your clothes (my favourite atm)
Shou Mei White Tea - very refreshing and bright white tea
So delicious, and a nice touch
I am very impressed with both the service and products. This is my first time I have ordered anything, and will definitely be returning. Many thanks, and congratulations.
I'm very happy with the samples sizes in the Sampler pack, as it enables me to share cups with friends and family to find out what their particular preferences are. Many thanks.
Purchased these at a market on holidays in Tassie several years ago, having been ordering ever since! My whole family love the dragon pearls, beautiful green tea and pretty to watch open up.
Mandarin Pu-erh Post-fermented Tea

Aged Mandarine Peel 2016
