The House of Rose Tea
When you need a little bit of beauty in life, relaxing moments and a wonderful flavor in your cup, rose tea is the perfect choice.
Benefits of drinking rose tea
Rose tea doesn’t only smell and taste delicious, it may provide numerous health benefits too. It contains gallic acid, anthocyanins, kaempferol and quercetin. Traditionally, rose tea has been used for digestion, protecting the heart, fighting inflammation and relieving different types of pain. However, many of the potential health benefits are still not scientifically backed up. Rose tea and rose extracts may provide antimutagenic, anti inflammatory, antimicrobial and antidiabetic, and antidepressant activity.
Rose tea is rich in antioxidant. One study showed that rose tea may have a higher free-radical scavenging activity than green tea. However, not all green teas are the same, and not all rose teas are the same. Depending on the type and other factors, they may have higher or lower antioxidant activity. Combined, they may provide a wonderful, antioxidant boosting drink with a delicious taste. In fact, adding a few rose petals to your black or green tea may boost the antioxidant activity even more. Another study showed that tea made from rose petals may have a much higher antioxidant activity than tea made from rose buds.
Pure rose tea is caffeine-free. That means you can enjoy it even right before sleep. Furthermore, studies showed that some compounds in rose extracts have a hypnotic effect and may be beneficial for inducing sleep. If you really want to treat yourself before going to sleep, try a delicious caffeine free rose latte.
