A velvety and rare rose treat. Rose has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) for centuries for its physical and spiritual health benefits.
In TMC is it said the rose petals and their medicine help to move and open a heart that has tightened emotionally and spiritually. A perfect tea for uplifting your mood and a natural depression fighter, rose also has antispasmodic, aphrodisiac and sedative qualities, as well as being anti-inflammatory which aids in healthy-looking, clear skin. Rose helps regulate menstruation as well as stimulate digestion.
Rose Matcha is made organically with roses from Shangdong, home of the China Rose. The roses are slowly dried and ground to a fine powder crafted the same way you would craft green matcha. Shangdong’s history with rose cultivation dates back to the Tang Dynasty. The roots of our roses are deep.
Brewing Notes
Place approx. 4-5 scoops of rose matcha in your bowl. Then wet with 15 ml water of water that is heated to approx 70ºC (prevent very high heat as it increases bitterness and lowers medicinal properties) Thoroughly knead the mixture using a bamboo whisk until smooth paste forms. Add 70ml of heated milk of your choice and mix until consistent. It is safe/recommended to increase the amount of powder if more colour or flavour is desired. Add honey for enhancing the flavour of your rose matcha. For a cold brew, place in the fridge, wait until cooled or pour the mixture directly over ice cubes. Enjoy.
