Heritage Rose Petal Teas .. AT MY ROSE GARDEN

One of the loveliest ways to enjoy the fragrance of rose petals is in a cup of tea!  No, not just a whole bloom plunked in a cup of hot water!  

Think about it, we drink camellia leaves (Camellia sinensis) in the form of black tea without considering what we are drinking!  The camellia leaves are treated in numerous ways to give us a range of teas, black, green, white and range of various flavours that often signify the region the camellia is grown. 

Similarly, there is an art to mixing our own dried pesticide-free rose petals with other dried herbs and teas.  An art we are perfecting to create our own signature rose petal tea.  A rose petal tea with a fragrant aroma that helps to calm and de-stress.  You won't believe the fragrance!

Of course, we love the ritual of tea making too, as it also has a calming effect.  The habit of making a cup of tea signifies a lovely pause to a busy day and gives our brains a moment to relax.  

And what better way to enjoy a cup of rose petal tea than in the garden.  Even better, if the tea is surrounded with friends and scrumptious food.  

Or, perhaps a tray set up for one, with a lovely tea pot and china cup.  A lovely daily ritual, guaranteed to improve your day.  

Loose tea leaves are the preferred way of making a proper cup of tea.  Tea always tastes better if its brewed in a teapot and poured into a china cup.  Just another part of the ritual of taking time-out.  And I read recently that even tea-bags use plastic to seal each tiny tea bag, so it's more sustainable to use loose tea leaves.  

So watch this space as we put together a range of rose petal and herb teas that we plan to serve here in our gardens, 




or purchased separately.  


Just message us to book a high tea in the gardens, or purchase our loose leaf rose petal tea separately.
