Rose Shield
Tart Summer Refreshment & Spiced Winter Comfort
$18.00
The Story: This is the tea that can taste like summer sunshine iced or some winter warmth spiced in a mug.
Crafted from the "red gold" of the harvest—Hibiscus, Rosehips, Elderberry, and native Sumac—this blend is a delightful explosion of tart, fruity flavor. It's the kind of drink that reminds you of childhood Kool-Aid, but packed with potent antioxidants and the protective properties of elderberry and natural vitamins to keep you feeling your best.
In the heat of July, it's ice-cold and refreshing. In the chill of December, we mull it with cinnamon, ginger and orange peel like a cozy, non-alcoholic wine. Whether you're cooling down or warming up, this blend is a fortifying shield for the whole family—simple, delicious, and deeply satisfying.
Key Ingredients: Hibiscus, Rosehips, Chamomile, Rose Petals, Elderberry, Hawthorn, Sumac. (September-January with Cinnamon, Orange Peel and Ginger)
