Rose Green Tea | 50g

Rose Green Tea combines two ingredients with complementary wellness profiles: green tea and rose petals. Green tea provides EGCG antioxidants that support metabolism, immunity, cardiovascular health, and cellular protection from oxidative stress. Rose petals are rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and polyphenols that support skin health, reduce inflammation, have mild antibacterial properties, and contribute a calming, mood-lifting aromatic quality. Together they make a tea that is simultaneously an antioxidant drink, a skin-supporting ritual, and a genuinely pleasant sensory experience. It is one of the most popular teas for women specifically because of the combined skin, hormonal, and stress-relief benefits.

Yes, this is one of the most commonly searched benefits of rose tea and the answer is genuinely well-supported. Rose petals contain vitamin C, which is essential for collagen synthesis (the protein that keeps skin firm and elastic). Their flavonoids and polyphenols protect skin cells from oxidative damage, which is a primary driver of premature ageing. They also have mild anti-inflammatory properties that reduce redness and skin irritation from the inside. Green tea's EGCG independently supports skin health by reducing inflammation and protecting against UV-related oxidative stress. Drinking rose green tea consistently over several weeks is one of the most pleasant dietary habits for skin health.

Delicate, floral, and subtly sweet with a clean green tea base. The rose gives it a gentle perfumed quality, recognisably floral but not overwhelming, more like the natural scent of fresh rose petals than a synthetic rose flavour. The green tea provides structure and a slight grassy freshness that stops it tasting purely like a floral tisane. It is one of the most elegant-tasting teas in Chayam's range, light and feminine in character, equally enjoyable plain or with a small amount of honey. Served over ice with a squeeze of lemon it becomes a beautifully fragrant cold drink.

Yes, rose has a documented effect on mood and stress through its aromatic compounds. The scent of rose activates the parasympathetic nervous system, reducing heart rate and promoting calm. Drinking rose tea combines this aromatherapy benefit: the steam carries the fragrance directly with the L-theanine from the green tea base, which independently promotes relaxed alertness without sedation. Many people find rose green tea particularly effective as a mid-afternoon ritual during stressful periods because it is calming without being sedating.

Use 2g or a heaped teaspoon per 175ml of water. Heat the water to 80–85°C, not boiling (green tea needs lower temperature water to avoid releasing tannins and makinfg it bitter). Steep for 2 to 3 minutes, then strain. The rose petals are delicate and release their fragrance quickly, so there is no benefit to steeping longer, it will instead make the green tea base bitter without adding more rose character. The tea can be re-steeped once for a lighter second cup. For iced rose green tea, brew double strength and pour over ice immediately.

Yes, a moderate amount from the green tea base (roughly 20 to 30mg per cup), lower than a standard green tea because the rose petals dilute the proportion of tea leaves. It is comfortable to drink through the morning and afternoon. For people avoiding caffeine entirely, our Pure Hibiscus or Pure Chamomile are caffeine-free alternatives with their own distinct floral characters.

It is one of Chayam's most visually appealing teas for gifting: the dried rose petals are visible in the tin alongside the whole green tea leaves, making it immediately beautiful to look at before brewing. The elegant gold tin caddy presents well and the floral character appeals broadly. It works particularly well as a gift for women, for anniversaries, birthdays, and romantic occasions, or as part of a wellness-themed gift alongside other floral teas like Jasmine Green or Pure Hibiscus.

People with known allergies to roses or plants in the Rosaceae family should consult their doctor before drinking Rose tea. Those with general pollen allergies should exercise caution, particularly during allergy season. For most healthy adults without known floral allergies it is entirely safe at normal consumption levels of one to three cups per day.
