Rich with botanical constituents, this tisane, also known as herbal tea, comprises whole dried buds of the heirloom rose flower grown in Pingyin county, Shandong, China. These bulbs offer layers of refreshing sweetness, resulting in a pale pink tea with a high floral fragrance. It can be steeped multiple times in a gongfu tea session to extract a lovely depth of flavor. Naturally, this tea does not contain any caffeine.
Pingyin boasts a long history of cultivating their native rose flower, renowned for its high quality, large petals, pigmented coloring, and rich fragrance. The fully hydrated flowers are 5 to 6 times larger than the final dried bulbs. These flowers are grown and produced on Huang mountain and harvested in late summer, once the roses are in full bloom and have fully developed their flavor and aroma from the high mountain sun exposure. The whole dried rose buds are rich with botanical constituents like geraniol, the compound responsible for rose aromatics, making them ideal for thorough infusion. This tisane is naturally caffeine-free.
TISANES (HERBAL TEA) "Tisane" is the French word for herb, commonly used to describe herbal teas. Herbal teas are infusions made from steeped flowers, herbs, and other plant materials. Most tisanes do not contain caffeine, although exceptions exist, such as yerba mate. True tea must be prepared from the Camellia sinensis plant, then processed to result in white, yellow, green, oolong, or black tea.
