White Rose Tea

The origin of roses dates back to 35 million years. In Greek mythology, it is believed that roses came into existence through the tears and the blood of Adonis, the lover of Aphrodite (the goddess of love). Cleopatra, who is known for her affairs, used loads of rose petals to cover her floor to scent the air romantic to woo Mark Antony. In the Victorian era, roses were even used as a mode of communication. Since then, different colours have got their meanings. Red for love, pink for friendship, and white for innocence. White tea was first discovered in China’s Fujian province in the 1700s. The first two variants were called Da Bai and Da Hao. There are no historical records that talk about the origins and history of white tea. Although, it is believed that white tea was first produced during the rule of the Song dynasty (960 – 1280 AD) in Imperial China. With the floral notes, fresh scent of rose, and the delicate flavour of white tea, we say indulge yourself in the White Rose tea.
