Our Rose Petal and Rosehip tisane contains Organic Rosehips, Nettles, Rose petals & Lemon verbena, gathered from our certified organic herb garden, fields and hedgerows
The leaves, flowers and hips are gathered and dried whole (the larger surface area reduces oxidation and flavour loss), then processed (cut up) in tiny batches to ensure the most potent and flavoursome tisanes
The Rosehips are left whole to avoid the irritating hairs inside!
To make a brew, pour a cup of just boiled water over 1 teaspoon of herbs and infuse for 5-13mins. 5 mins will make a tasty beverage, whereas a longer infusion will extract more of the medicinal properties of the herbs. The herbs can be reused a few times – just pour more freshly boiled water over the herbs!
Rosehips are a great friend for gut and joint health, as well supporting the immune system
Research undertaken in the 1930’s showed that home grown Rosehips contained 20-40 times more vitamin C than imported oranges, as well as vitamins (A, B1, B2, B3, K,) flavonoids, tannins, polyphenols, carotenoids, volatile oils and biotin
During the war years, over 2,000 tonnes of Rosehips were gathered by the WI and other volunteers, organised by the County Herb Committees. Imports of oranges were stopped during the second world war, so Rosehip syrup was rationed and supplied to children throughout the war years and for some time afterwards, to ensure they received sufficient vitamin C 🌿
As well as being an incredible immune support, Rosehips are antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, chondroprotective (protect cartilage) and anti-nococeptive (help relieve pain sensation)…and research is ongoing, looking at their ability to help with diabetes and cholesterol management 🌿
In contrast to NSAIDs (such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen), Rosehips anti-inflammatory actions don’t have side effects such as gastric ulceration or platelet inhibition, providing a helpful alternative for people who may be at increased risk from the gastrointestinal or cardiovascular side effects of NSAIDs 🌿

The Rose petals are gathered from the Apothecary’s Rose in our herb garden. The Apothecary’s Rose is the oldest known rose to be cultivated, and originated in ancient Persia. It was brought to Europe in the 12th or 13th century, via returning knights in the Crusades and was grown outside apothecaries as a symbol of their trade
Rose is a great healer for the emotional and physical heart, as well as the gut, reproductive system and skin. Preliminary studies show that Rose may alleviate high blood pressure, diabetes, anxiety, inflammation and low mood
Nettles are delicious and nutritious, a natural vitamin and mineral supplement.They were a sacred herb in Anglo-Saxon times. Nettles are used by herbalists to help with many imbalances, such as anaemia, hay fever, arthritis, asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, eczema, inflammation and urinary problems
Lemon verbena is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. Some research suggests that it may help reduce oxidative stress, improve sleep quality, have anti-obesity effects and protect against muscle damage
