Różana – a classic with a romantic twist

Rose tea has for centuries been associated with elegance, ambiance, and a moment of stillness. In the world of tea, there are certain combinations that have endured through the ages not because they were fashionable, but because they strike a chord with the heart and stimulate the senses. One such combination is black tea and rose – a pairing that has for centuries been associated with elegance, subtlety, and a touch of romance. In ancient China, rose blossoms were added to high-quality Congou teas not only for their fragrance but also to enhance the unique character of the infusion itself. Rose was believed to bring harmony and soothe emotions, and its aroma, combined with the depth of black tea, creates a drink for celebrating special moments. This combination of flavor and scent is like a journey back in time – it evokes images of the ancient Orient, where tea and flowers were an integral part of daily rituals.

In Europe, the trend for rose-infused teas emerged alongside a wave of fascination with the Middle East. Its delicate, romantic aroma quickly captured the hearts of Europeans, inspiring the creation of new blends. In the 19th century, when tea became a symbol of good taste, class, and high social status, rose teas began to appear in salons. They were served in porcelain cups during social gatherings and afternoon teas, where the scent of the flowers intertwined with conversation and the gentle clinking of silver spoons. To this day, rose petal tea evokes similar associations – elegance, a pleasant atmosphere, a moment of relaxation and contemplation.

Rose tea has been valued for centuries not only for its flavor but also for its beneficial effects on well-being. The aroma of rose soothes and improves mood, while its petals, rich in vitamin C, minerals, and trace elements, support proper body function. The antioxidants they contain help slow the aging process, protect cells from damage, and support immunity. Rose also has anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, can aid digestion, and soothe stomach discomfort. Regular consumption of rose tea promotes hydration and overall well-being.

Taste and aroma

Rose Tea is made from Chinese Congou tea, known for its small, carefully rolled leaves and soft, slightly malty flavor. This deep, classic base provides the perfect backdrop for rose petals, which add a floral lightness and a delicate, romantic aroma. The infusion is a deep amber in color, and its scent is reminiscent of a rose garden in full bloom. The warm notes of the tea intertwine with the freshness of the rose, creating a perfectly balanced flavor—deep, yet subtle.

For whom?

Rose will appeal to those who enjoy infusions with a floral accent but appreciate the classic elegance of black tea. It's a great choice for customers seeking a blend with a unique aroma for both everyday use and special occasions, where ambiance and attention to detail are key.

How to brew Rose tea?

Pour 200 ml of water at 100°C over one teaspoon of dried herb (approx. 2–3 g) and steep for 3–5 minutes. A shorter steeping time will emphasize the floral delicacy and subtle aroma of rose, while a longer steeping time will bring out the fullness of the black tea and its deeper, more pronounced flavor notes.
