Introduction
Rose Tea, one of the most renowned floral teas, has a rich history that dates back to ancient China. Originating from regions known for their exquisite rose cultivation, such as Shandong and Gansu provinces, Rose Tea is celebrated for its delicate aroma and soothing flavor. The natural geography of these regions, with their fertile soil, mild climate, and abundant rainfall, creates ideal conditions for growing high-quality roses. Rose Tea is made by carefully selecting and drying rose petals, which are then blended with various types of tea leaves or used on their own. The meticulous processing involves handpicking the petals at their peak, drying them slowly to preserve their natural oils and fragrance, and sometimes blending them with green, black, or white tea leaves to create a harmonious and aromatic infusion.

Storage Methods
To preserve the freshness and quality of Rose Tea, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong odors. Avoid storing the tea in the kitchen or other damp areas. Proper storage ensures that the tea retains its delicate flavors and aromatic qualities over time. For long-term storage, consider refrigerating the tea in an airtight container to further extend its shelf life.
Brewing Method
To brew a perfect cup of Rose Tea, follow these steps:
1. Measure: Use about 2-3 grams of rose petals or rose tea blend per 150 ml of water.
2. Rinse: If using rose petals blended with tea leaves, rinse the tea leaves with hot water (around 80-85°C or 176-185°F) and discard the water. This helps to "wake up" the leaves and cleanse them.
3. Infuse: Add the rose petals or the rinsed tea blend to a teapot or gaiwan and pour in hot water. Steep for about 2-3 minutes for the first infusion.
4. Serve: Pour the tea into a cup, leaving some water in the pot to cover the leaves.
5. Repeat: The same leaves can be steeped multiple times, with each infusion revealing new layers of flavor. Adjust steeping time for subsequent infusions as needed.
