Flowers From My Meadow Dark Red Rose Petals are beautifully aromatic dried petals from Rosa damascena, also known as Damask Rose. Carefully dried to preserve their rich botanical character, they have a deep red to burgundy appearance with a delicately floral, sweet and classic rose aroma. They can be steeped alone as a naturally caffeine-free botanical infusion, blended with complementary flowers and herbs, or used to bring colour, fragrance and floral character to culinary creations.
♡ Why we love it: Their deep burgundy tones make these petals especially beautiful to work with, while their classic rose aroma gives them plenty of versatility. We love them equally for a simple floral infusion, creative tea blends and elegant culinary touches.
