Description
Vanilla Rose White Monkey is a gentle, uplifting green tea blend crafted for moments of calm and reflection. It begins with organically grown Bai Mao Hou, or White Monkey green tea — named for the way its handpicked leaves resemble the soft paw of a white-haired monkey. This tea is smooth, naturally sweet, and full of character.
To this graceful base, we add organic rose petals and a hint of natural vanilla, creating a blend that’s as beautiful to look at as it is to drink. Lightly floral and softly sweet, this tea is perfect for slowing down and savoring a moment of peace.

Upon opening this package, I immediately relaxed and felt my shoulders drop. This is such a beautiful tea—light yet fragrant, with a wonderful creaminess that makes every sip feel comforting. With its low caffeine content and simple ingredients of organic Bai Mao Hou green tea, organic rose petals, and organic-compliant natural flavoring, it’s hard to go wrong.
Both hot and cold, This tea gives me subtle London Fog vibes. There’s a delicate floral sweetness from the rose, a smooth vanilla creaminess, and just a hint of something citrusy that brightens the cup. The velvety mouthfeel is especially lovely and adds to the overall luxurious experience.
What I appreciate most is what isn’t there: I don’t detect any bitterness or grassy notes that can sometimes be found in other green teas. Instead, the flavors are soft, balanced, and exceptionally smooth.
This really is a wonderful cuppa no matter the time of year—equally suited to a quiet morning, an afternoon break, or a cozy evening when you want something soothing and elegant.

I steeped this one using an overnight cold brew method that I came across from a tea sommelier. You muddle the leaves and cold brew it for at least twelve hours.
The result in this case is a very smooth refreshing iced green tea with a soft yet formative fresh rose flavor with a silky mouthfeel. A nice flowery iced tea to sip on a hot afternoon. If you like rose teas this one is a must for you.
I received this tea in exchange for my honest review.

This tea is indulgent. The aroma is luxuriant, creamy rose. It brews up to a beautiful green tea color. The taste is the same as the smell, creamy rose. It is a little floral, a little sweet. I made this into an iced latte. It became a nice creamy, dreamy color. I feel this would be a nice after dinner dessert drink, or for when you have earned a special treat at the end of the day. Good for some tea relaxation, take in the smell and savor the taste.

From the pouch, there is a lovely rose scent. I get a very prominent rose flavor, alongside a bright green tea. Floral teas are my jam, so this was a delight to drink! This doesn’t taste like potpourri or a candle, but rather, a beautiful almost candy like rose (probably more candy/creamy due to the vanilla). The green tea provides a lovely bight, vegetal base for the rose that isn’t bitter or overly grassy. I really enjoyed this combo and this is another cold brew love from me!
This tea was gifted to me by the company, and I am providing my honest review.

If you love a strong rose floral tea, this is the tea for you. It’s very apparent when you open the package that the rose is the main contender in this blend. It smells beautiful; rosey with a creamy hint of vanilla aroma.
On it’s own, it’s not the tea for me, as I don’t like a strong floral flavor. I decided to try an iced milk tea with some agave syrup and some whole milk. I actually ended up really enjoying it! The milk and sweetener toned the strength of the rose down just enough for my liking and brought out the creamy vanilla. The green tea base is light with a fruity undertone that pairs well with the vanilla rose flavors.

A very nice, creamy vanilla tea that complements the green tea surprisingly well! A great alternative to iced coffee in the morning when you want something more refreshing and less gunky. Makes a great latte as well! The rose gives it a subtle but not overly perfume-like floral scent.

I cold brewed this tea overnight, and it brewed into a gorgeous cup. The blend itself is beautiful, and the aroma immediately lets you know rose is going to be the star of the show.
Drinking this tea feels like strolling through a blooming rose garden. The rose is definitely front and center, but in the best way. It’s not perfumey at all—just soft, gentle, and beautifully balanced. It pairs wonderfully with the White Monkey tea base, which brings a natural sweetness to the cup.
The vanilla and rose work surprisingly well together, creating a smooth, sweet floral combination that feels both comforting and refreshing. Everything is blended so thoughtfully that no single ingredient overwhelms the others, allowing the flavors to complement each other beautifully.

This tea made a fantastic iced tea! Rose and vanilla is such a good combo, they complement each other beautifully and the vanilla adds a nice creaminess. I really liked the floral notes in this tea, it was the perfect amount of rose without being overpowering. It was already sweet but I did add a little bit of sugar and that just made it even better. The green tea was so smooth and perfectly balanced, no astringency at all. This tea is absolutely lovely! Definitely recommend trying this one!
This tea was gifted to me by purveyor, but all opinions are my own.

I prepared this as a hot tea, since I don’t particularly care for floral teas over ice, and I’m glad I did because WOW! The pairing of rose and vanilla is exquisite! The rose is lush and floral, and the vanilla is delectable and creamy. Both components mingle beautifully with the White Monkey Green Tea, which smooth, buttery, and delicately sweet. This tea is joyful, romantic, and the perfect mid-morning cup to sip on. I would absolutely make this a permanent part of my tea collection.

Upon opening the package, I was greeted by a beautiful aroma of fresh roses and sweet vanilla. The dry leaves were long and twisted, with scattered rose petals adding a touch of elegance to the blend. The fragrance was light and inviting, promising a refreshing and floral tea experience.
I brewed this tea hot, then chilled and served it iced. The resulting infusion was crisp, smooth, and incredibly refreshing. The light green tea base provided a clean foundation for the soft floral notes of rose and the creamy sweetness of vanilla. I was pleasantly surprised by how well the vanilla and rose worked together, creating a balanced flavor that enhanced the tea rather than overpowering it. Served iced, the blend felt especially bright and refreshing, making it an excellent choice for a warm day.
This was a wonderfully refreshing tea that showcased a beautiful balance of flavors. The combination of delicate green tea, fragrant rose, and smooth vanilla created an elegant and enjoyable iced tea that I would happily drink again and again.

I brewed this and let it steep overnight before enjoying it iced on a hot summer day.
The up front aroma is clean and crisp inviting me in for that first sip.
That first sip is delightful. It’s incredibly refreshing, with every flavor coming together in perfect harmony. Each note has its moment to shine—a delicate hint of rose gently graces the palate, while the creamy vanilla adds a smooth, comforting sweetness.
The green tea never overwhelms the blend. Instead, it provides a light, clean foundation that enhances the soft floral notes and refreshing character of the tea. Every sip is beautifully balanced, making for an elegant and enjoyable cup from start to finish.
