The differences is from the country of origin for the rose tea bud. Different rose tea bud produced from different country will have a different aroma too. I bought from Chinese Hall before, its cheaper than those organic western types. Personally i prefer the organic western type coz' its lighter yet have better aroma.

There's a big difference! Like juniper berry pointed out, it depends on where the rose buds come from.

I used to get mine from Cold Storage (some organic brand, can't remember the name right now) and the fragrance is really nice. Recently, I saw a Chinese medicinal hall selling a packet for $2, so I thought I'd just give it a go. The moment I opened the packet at home, I regretted it immediately - the roses had a funny, weird smell. I popped one into hot water and it smelt even worse - didn't dare to drink it. I threw everything away in the end. The shopkeeper mentioned that the roses were from China, so I suspected that it had pesticides and stuff.

Will only get organically grown roses from now on.

Has anyone bought tea from TWG at Ion Orchard? they sell it at $35 per tin, and they come in many "flavours". the packaging is so nice, but the price is quite steep. I had a one-for-one coupon thus I got 2 tins at $35 (both green tea flovours).

The sakura tea has a light flowery scent but the aroma comes through more when it's slightly cooled.

Have yet to try the 2nd tin.
