This deep violet-red rose powder is a pure extract of anthocyanins and natural essential oils: 10 luscious roses go into making 1 gram of extract. Tea made from this powder transforms from a vivid blue to striking violet-ruby, before settling into a beautiful carnation pink. This mesmerizing show of colors indicate a high content of anthocyanin: antioxidants prized for improving eye health. 

Made from sweetly scented roses grown in the south of Taiwan, farmers use a vanishing traditional agricultural method, where leaves of weeds are cut and used as ground cover and natural compost, while their roots are left to regrow, thus preserving a natural ecosystem. This enables the farm to have zero use of chemical fertilizers or pesticides for the past 10 years, creating a pristine terroir. The purity of these roses adds to its efficacy, where they are traditionally used to treat irregular menstruation, stomachache due to emotional depression and stress. They regulate flow of qi, improve blood circulation, supports kidney functions and helps with ear health. 

Rose powder can be sprinkled onto cakes, or added into milk, smoothies & yoghurt. To make a delectable rose cream for spreading on bread & cakes, add ½ teaspoon to 2 tablespoons of mascarpone or crème fraiche. To make a tea, add 1/8 teaspoon of powder to 100ml of hot water.
