In the Know
Late summer brings melancholy to some, including the seemingly jolly and respected rose plant. For, this is the time of year when days spent frolicking in lazy afternoons are coming to an end, school beckons, and stalwart roses lose their petals. If you are a rose bush caretaker, you’ve likely been trimming and pruning your flowers so won’t be able to see, or cultivate, any rose hips. If not, however, this is when you will begin to notice the treasure hidden within, which is the focus of this particular profile: the highly nutritious rose hips, or seed pod part of the rose plant.
A Rose Hips Historical Fun Fact
Due to its high vitamin C content, rose hips may have played a significant role in keeping British kids healthy during WWII. When German submarines were destroying cargo ships carrying imported citrus fruit, parents were instructed to gather the rose hips seed pods and make syrup to administer to their children in order to prevent scurvy!
What Does Buddha Teas Rose Hips Tea Taste Like?
If you think your cup of Buddha Teas Rose Hips Tea is going to make your mouth pucker, you couldn’t be more wrong. Unlike the vitamin C lozenges you may have sucked on and reacted with, as Oprah describes, “ugly cry” face, our delicate, balanced vitamin C-rich tea couldn’t taste less tart. So go ahead, steep away, and enjoy this immune-boosting tea any time of day, all year long.
How to Make Rose Hips Tea
Because some of rose hips’ vitamin C can diminish in high heat, we recommend preparing your Rose Hips Tea in water heated to about 185° F. Steep as long as you like, though; as stated above, the smooth flavor will not bitter, even up to a 10-minute soak.
Why choose Buddha Teas?
Buddha Teas searches the world for the very best herbs, flowers, spices, and teas to incorporate into our blended and single herb wellness products. We NEVER use additives or “natural” flavorings. Instead, we use substantial quantities of key ingredients to ensure our products have optimal efficacy. During our exploration for the best, we found that living in harmony with nature is ideal. We've realized that any time we need nature to provide for us, we must give something back. Sustainably harvesting and keeping waste and pollution at a bare minimum made sense to us. Buddha Teas is 100% chemical free, from our bleach free tea bags to our utilization of soy-based ink for our labels and beautifully colored tea boxes. When you buy Buddha Teas, you’re not only enjoying a flavorful, hand-crafted, all-natural tea but you will also feel peace of mind knowing that you are buying your tea from a company that gives back to our magnificent planet.
Bleach-Free Tea Bags
Our tea bags may not be the whitest, but they ARE the safest because Buddha Teas ONLY uses bleach-free teas bags. For us, this is not a preference but a necessity. Tea bags that have been bleached contain harmful chemicals such as dioxin and epichlorohydrin. Dioxin is a highly toxic, chemical compound produced by some chemical processes such as bleaching paper. It falls into the category of a POP (persistent organic pollutant) which, as the name suggests, persists and refuses to breakdown in our bodies and the environment, potentially taking decades to detox. Epichlorohydrin (bleach) is also toxic and listed as a hazardous air pollutant (HAP). It has been classified by the EPA as a human carcinogen.
We believe that our customers should never have to choose between their health and their senses so we proudly offer bleach-free tea bags so that they can taste the purity of natural teas without the cost of harmful chemicals or additives.
Learn About Our "Tea For Trees" Campaign
Our “Tea for Trees” campaign creates a sustainable model that restores one of our most precious resources while offsetting the paper used in our products. We’ve partnered with The National Forest Foundation’s Trees for Us, a program that annually plants millions of trees throughout our national forests.
By giving back whenever possible, Buddha Teas strives to honor the earth and its many blessings. Help us plant trees while enjoying an unadulterated tea that’s healthy for you, and our planet. Read more about it here.
