How to choose roses for delicious tea
For home-grown roses
- The best time to pick roses from the garden is early in the morning, when the flowers have just begun to bloom and still have early dew drops on them.
- Avoid picking flowers that have turned brown and are fully bloomed. The best rose tea should be made from buds that have just opened.
For purchased roses
- You should choose to buy flowers from reputable and quality sellers to ensure that the flowers are not sprayed with wax or treated with chemicals.
- Select climbing roses or Damask roses and avoid buying fully bloomed flowers.
- Additionally, you should choose flowers with lighter colors like pink, yellow, or white if you want to enjoy the floral flavor. Red roses or other darker colors such as blue, orange,… often have a stronger scent and less floral flavor, and they may sometimes be treated with chemical dyes.
Notes when brewing rose tea
- Each time you brew tea, you should not use too many roses to avoid waste and counterproductive effects. It is best to use about 6 – 10 dried rose buds and 1 – 2 fresh roses.
- It is recommended to use water at 80 – 90 degrees Celsius. Water at 100 degrees Celsius will reduce the natural vitamin C content in the roses.
- If you want to add lemon, you should add it last (preferably after adding sugar or honey) to avoid making the tea bitter.
