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 ($25) because it's one of those reliable evening cups many of our customers keep coming back to.
