These rosebuds are plucked when they are young and then dried. This is considered a herbal tea and has many attributes. It has a natural rosy taste and aroma, theessential oils in Rosebud Tea can help to improve circulation and is good for the heart. It also calming and especially for ladies before menstruation. You can enjoy it on its own or you can add dried logans and sugar coated winter melon strips when brewing the tea. Rosebud is one of my favourite tea. It does not contain any caffein and soothing.

History of Tea

Long Ago Tea was only grown in China. Due to trade with the western countries. The Englishman enjoyed tea as a beverage. The English then asked the emperor of the Tea plant to be brought back to UK. Since Tea is precious in China. A low grade/hybrid of tea plant was given to the Englishman to be brought back to UK.

The Tea plant did grow in Kew garden but because it is of inferior quality the taste of tea gives the drink a sappy after taste. The clever Englishman enhance it with milk and sugar. Now the tea plants are grown.
