Valli, wonderful tips. I love rose and vanilla tea, it tastes good and is aromatic and rose oil is very good for aromatherapy. I did an article last year on it. Great information. Thank you.

I've been tasting several kinds of tea, but I just found that my favorite tea is rose tea 2 days ago when I first tasted it. I have been a fan of rose in its shape, red color, and fragrance. Now I'm a big fan of its taste too. If its turned out to have benefits, for me is just a bonus, the important thing is that I like it and I'm happy just by drinking it. Thank you for sharing this info.
