You might notice the absence of so-called “real” Tea leaves from the Camellia sinensis plant. As a result, it is 100% caffeine-free, a perfect choice for those looking to cut down their intake.
But allow us to discuss the ingredients that are within our Flower Garden Tea. Rose Petals have long been used for their reported health benefits. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, French leader Napoleon Bonaparte believed that they treated musket wounds.
Millennia earlier, Cleopatrata considered them an aphrodisiac! We now know that they contain an abundance of immune system-boosting Vitamin C.
Meanwhile, Blackberry Leaves, which derive from the perennial bramble plant, grow throughout much of the world. They have been utilised by the ancient Greeks, Romans and Native Americans for digestion, sore throats, gout and more.
Then there are Marigold Blossoms, which are a cultural symbol in Hindi, Buddhist and previously Aztec societies. Combined, these components are a match made in heaven.
