{"product_id":"flowers-from-my-meadow-red-rose-buds-20g","title":"Red Rose Buds - Flowers From My Meadow (20g)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFlowers From My Meadow Red Rose Buds are whole dried rose flower buds, carefully selected for their beautiful form, deep red and burgundy tones, and delicate floral aroma. Unlike loose rose petals, the buds retain the recognisable structure of the flower, making them especially lovely for visible botanical infusions and creative tea blends. Steep them on their own for a naturally caffeine-free floral infusion, combine them with complementary botanicals, or explore them in syrups, desserts and other culinary creations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e♡ Why we love it: Whole rose buds turn a simple cup of tea into something particularly beautiful. As they steep, the tightly layered flowers soften and relax in the water, bringing fragrance, visual character and a little ceremony to an everyday botanical ritual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBotanical Name: \u003cem\u003eRosa\u003c\/em\u003e spp.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommon Name: Red Rose Buds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlant Family: Rosaceae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart Used: Whole dried flower buds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm: Whole dried buds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppearance: Deep red to burgundy petals with natural green sepals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAroma: Delicate and distinctly floral\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNaturally Caffeine-Free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle Botanical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Added Flavourings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable For: Botanical infusions, loose-leaf tea blends and culinary preparations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStorage: Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat It's Used For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrewing a delicate rose bud infusion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdding whole flowers to loose-leaf tea blends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreating visually beautiful clear-teapot infusions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlending with chamomile, hibiscus, butterfly pea flower and mint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInfusing honey, milk and syrups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdding floral character to desserts and confectionery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing the separated petals as an edible botanical garnish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWho It's For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Product Is For:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloral tea lovers who enjoy whole-flower infusions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHome tea blenders looking for aromatic and visually distinctive botanicals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone who enjoys seeing recognisable flowers in a clear cup or teapot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreative cooks experimenting with edible botanicals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBotanical enthusiasts building a simple whole-flower pantry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Product Is Not For:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone looking for fresh rose buds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone looking for conventional black, green or caffeinated tea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplications requiring a confirmed single rose species\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow To Use\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAs a Tea: Add approximately 3-5 whole dried Rose Buds per cup.

The specific rose species or cultivar has not been confirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: What is the difference between Red Rose Buds and Dark Red Rose Petals?\u003cbr\u003eA: Red Rose Buds are intact dried flower buds, while Dark Red Rose Petals are individual petals separated from the flower. The buds are particularly beautiful for visible infusions and presentation, while loose petals are convenient for blending, baking and recipes where the rose is dispersed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Do the buds fully open when steeped?\u003cbr\u003eA: Not necessarily. Drying changes the flower structure, so the buds usually soften, loosen or partially unfold rather than opening exactly like a fresh rose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Does Red Rose Bud tea contain caffeine?\u003cbr\u003eA: No. A pure infusion made only from rose buds is naturally caffeine-free. If the buds are blended with a caffeinated tea, the finished blend will contain caffeine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Can I cook with Red Rose Buds?\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. They can be infused into suitable culinary preparations, and the petals can also be separated or crushed for desserts, confectionery and garnishes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flowers From My Meadow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56041865183400,"sku":"EN-20223425","price":169.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0081\/3111\/7152\/files\/FFMMRedRoseBuds3.webp?v=1790176841","url":"https:\/\/essentiallynatural.co.za\/products\/flowers-from-my-meadow-red-rose-buds-20g","provider":"Essentially Natural","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
