Rhododendron Flower Tea is made from dried Buransh flowers, Rhododendron arboreum. The tree grows in the Himalayan hills and blooms bright red in spring. Steeped, the dried flowers give a light red cup with a mild, lightly tangy taste. Serve it hot on a cold evening, or chilled over ice in summer.
This is a simple, single-ingredient herbal tea with no caffeine, so it makes an easy warm drink for the evening. The flowers are dried with no preservatives or additives. It is a tea to enjoy, and we do not claim that it treats any health condition.
