The Rose story

Buds picked before dawn, before they open

Damask roses are harvested at first light, when the oil is highest and the bud is still closed — that's why ours smell like the garden.

    The ritual

    Brew it in a glass so you can watch the buds unfurl. A spoon of honey turns it into dessert.

Why it works

Why buds, not petals

Most rose tea is loose petals — often dyed or sprayed with fragrance, because the natural aroma leaves petals within days. A whole bud keeps its essential oils sealed inside until it opens in hot water. Rose has long been valued for skin, mood and a calm stomach, and is naturally rich in vitamin C and polyphenols.*

Ours are organic, hand-picked in Grevena and dried unopened. Nothing sprayed, nothing added.

How to brew

Two ways to brew. One second steep.

Whole leaves and flowers give up their flavour slowly, so the same spoonful brews twice.

Hot

  1. 1 tsp of whole buds per 8 oz cup
  2. Water just off the boil (212°F)
  3. Cover and steep 5–7 minutes — watch the buds open
  4. Strain and sip; the buds give a second, softer cup

Cold brew

  1. 4–6 tsp per quart of room-temperature water
  2. Steep 4–6 hours (or overnight in the fridge)
  3. Strain and pour over ice
  4. Optional: add honey or a lemon slice

Brew it in glass. The buds open slowly and colour the water pale gold — half the pleasure is watching. Blend a few buds into chamomile or Calm Tea for a floral lift.

The difference

Whole Greek herbs vs. supermarket tea bags

Most herbal tea is what's left after the good leaves are sold. Ours is the good leaves.

Questions we get most

Hot: 1 teaspoon per 8 oz of just-boiled water, steeped 5–7 minutes. Iced: 4–6 teaspoons per quart of room-temperature water, steeped 4–6 hours. The leaves are generous, so you can re-steep them for a second batch.

Floral, delicate and honeyed with a soft fruitiness — silky rather than perfumed, because the fragrance comes from real buds, not sprayed-on flavouring. Lovely alone or with a spoon of honey.

No — it's naturally caffeine-free, so you can enjoy it any time, including the evening.

Yes. We never grind, crush or bag our herbs. You see whole leaves, flowers and roots in the bag — and that's why each spoonful steeps twice.

Keep it in a cool, dark, dry place, sealed tight and away from sunlight and moisture. Dried herbs don't expire — they just slowly lose a little aroma and potency over time, so they're best enjoyed within about two years for peak flavor.

Our teas are natural, certified-organic herbs with nothing added. But pregnancy and breastfeeding are times to be a little extra careful — some herbs aren't recommended then, and everyone's situation is different. We always recommend checking with your doctor or midwife before adding a new herbal tea to your routine.

From the founder

Yia mas — to your health.

I grew up on Ikaria, where herbs were not a wellness trend — they were what my grandmother picked on the hillside, dried on the roof and brewed every evening for whoever walked through the door.

Real leaves and roots, never the broken dust sealed into a bag.

Every plant we sell is harvested at peak potency, hand-cut, air-dried the traditional way and hand-packed. Nothing added, nothing taken away.
