Rose Tea

Roses have enchanted many, by both their elegant appearance and fragrance. It is however not as well known that they also make a cup of tea that is just as charming in addition to its many health benefits: detoxification for kidneys and livers, strengthening immune and digestive system and calming the central nerves.

Whether it is true or a hidden myth, rose tea has been used most widely in Asia for its 'skin nourishing' benefits. It is believed that it has the capacity to 'purify and nourish' the skin to produce a glowing effect. It is therefore sought after by many Asian women.

There are two types of tea roses: the premium purple ones with rich rose fragrance (offered at Valley Green Tea) and the pink ones that are less fragrant. 

Preparation:  

The dry rose buds can be used to make pure rose tea or added to other teas. 

1. To make rose only tea: 5-8 dry rose buds in a mug and simply add hot water (around 95^oC) and infuse for 2-3 minutes before serving;
2. To make a blended tea: following the preparation of other tea types and simply add a few roses according to personal preference while brewing.

Hint: We always recommend rinsing the tea for up to 10 seconds before brewing to avoid any potential dust contamination
