Yunnan Rose Black Tea is a fine black tea from Yunnan, delicately blended with the petals of Rosa centifolia (the hundred-petaled rose). These rose petals lend the tea a sweet-and-sour tang and a refreshing floral aroma.
Beyond delighting the senses, this fragrant addition offers health benefits too. Rosa centifolia contains antiviral compounds known to help inhibit viral replication, making the tea a soothing companion during asthma, flu, colds, and other viral illnesses. It also provides gentle antioxidant support—though milder than white or green tea—as well as beneficial effects for digestion and sleeplessness.
Ideal as a first cup of the morning, this tea may especially appeal to those who tend to sweeten their black tea with sugar and lemon, as the rose’s natural flavor elegantly softens that urge.
