During the Ming Dynasty in China, which spanned from 1368 to 1644, tea artisans began to innovate by experimenting with different buds and blossoms to enrich tea leaves with essential oils. Among the earliest flowers they incorporated into their blends were roses, alongside popular choices such as osmanthus, orchids, and jasmine.

In this tradition, we have crafted a version of the classic 'Meigui Gongfu' rose tea. The base of this delightful infusion is a robust Chinese black tea that is skillfully infused with delicate floral notes and adorned with rose petals. While the roots of this tea lie deep in Chinese culture, the delightful fragrance of the rose evokes images of England’s pastoral landscapes.

Sipping this tea is a delightful experience; it captures a wonderfully delicate and sweet flavor profile. One taste transports you to idyllic settings, conjuring visions of rolling hills, the soothing sound of church bells, and picturesque country gardens—ideal companions for a leisurely picnic on the village green.
