Sweet Rose Dew

Sweet Rose Dew

Sweet Rose Dew is a caffeine-free tisane made from rose petals harvested in Shandong province, China. The petals are dried to preserve their natural sweetness, and the result is a cup with rich floral notes and a honey-like finish. No added sugar, no flavourings — the sweetness comes entirely from the roses themselves.

This tea has a following among our evening drinkers. The flavour is deeper than you might expect from a rose tea — there's a warmth to it that makes it feel comforting, not just floral. It works well as a wind-down drink after dinner, or any time you want something gentle without caffeine.

Joanne's tip

Liz, one of our online customers, described this tea as "just beautiful — the depth makes it really comforting." That's a good way to put it. I've included Sweet Rose Dew in our Evening Sample Pack because it's one of those reliable evening cups many of our customers keep coming back to.
