The origins of our Whole Rose Buds herbal tea

Could there be a prettier tea than our Whole Rosebuds herbal infusion? Made from young pink rosebuds, from the Rosa Damascena, this wonderfully fragrant dried rose tea provides a soothing cup for sipping in a quiet moment of your day.

Only the most delicate buds are used for this luxury rose tea. Naturally caffeine-free, it's made with nothing but tightly closed flowers, which yield a sunny, golden-yellow infusion and a soft, clean-tasting flavour with a lingering, gentle sweetness. Light and refreshing, it's best served in an elegant glass pitcher or teapot, so you can watch the beautiful pink rosebuds bobbing as they brew.

The perfect infusion to unwind with, this delightfully aromatic brew can be enjoyed for the feelgood factor as much as for its deliciously delicate flavour.

The health benefits of rose tea

Used for thousands of years around the world for cosmetic, culinary, cultural and medicinal purposes, the side effects of rose is associated with several health benefits. The fresh rose petals in our Whole Rose Buds tea are rich in polyphenols, plant-based antioxidants linked to good cardiovascular health, preventing tumour growth and improved cognitive function – possibly even helping to ward off Alzheimer's. One of the antioxidants found in especially high quantities in rose tea is gallic acid, which has been shown to improve gut health and the microbiome while having powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. Rosebud tea is also said to be beneficial for weight loss. Rose petals also contain anthocyanins, associated with good eye health.

Alternatives to rosebud tea

For the ultimate soothing, caffeine-free brew, try a caddy of our calming Whole Chamomile Blossoms. If you love a heady, floral-scented tea, Jasmine Silver Needle is a beautifully fragrant example of a classic Chinese white tea, while our Rare Ceylon Silver Tips from Sri Lanka is also low in caffeine and redolent with pine and honey notes.

Region

Kashan Region, Iran

Iranian rose buds are known for their exquisite fragrance and delicate flavour, making them a sought-after ingredient in teas, infusions, and culinary delights. Cultivated in the high-altitude regions of Iran, particularly Kashan region, these rose buds thrive in a climate that offers warm days and cool nights. The semi-arid conditions, combined with fertile soil, create ideal growing conditions, allowing the rose petals to develop a rich aroma and vibrant pink colour.

Harvested during the spring, usually in May, the rose buds are hand-picked early in the morning when their essential oils are most concentrated. This traditional harvesting method helps preserve their fragrance and health benefits, which include soothing properties, digestive support, and mood enhancement. Iranian roses are highly prized not only for their beauty but also for their versatility, as they can be used in herbal teas, desserts, syrups, and even cosmetics. Their subtle floral notes and elegant appearance add a touch of luxury to any blend, making Iranian rose buds a perfect addition to teas, offering both aesthetic appeal and a unique, aromatic experience.
