Whole dried organic fruit, so you get everything in it.

What Our Laguna Beach Customers Ask Us About This Tea

  • Why does this tea work?

    The vitamin C content is what drives most of rosehips' traditional uses: immune support during seasonal stress, collagen production for healthy skin, and antioxidant protection through the flavonoids and carotenoids alongside the vitamin C.

    Joint support is the other consistent use, and it is an area where modern research has followed, with studies looking at rosehip's anti-inflammatory properties in relation to osteoarthritis showing promising results.

  • How do I use this tea?

    Light pink, bright, and tart with a flavor close to cranberry and hibiscus and natural sweetness underneath.

    One of the most approachable single herbs in the collection.

    Honey rounds it out nicely.

    Because these are whole rosehips, lightly crush them before brewing for better extraction. Use the back of a spoon or a mortar and pestle to crack them open.

    One teaspoon of crushed rosehips per eight ounces of water at 212 degrees, steeped ten to fifteen minutes.

  • Can I boost the benefits of this tea?

    Rosehips + Rose Petals

    Rosehips bring concentrated vitamin C that the body uses directly in collagen production and immune function, while rose petals add antioxidant support and the calming, skin-nourishing properties long valued in Ayurveda.

    Together they support healthy skin from the inside out, covering both the nutritional and protective sides of what traditional medicine has always considered part of natural beauty.

  • Who should use extra caution?

    If you take blood thinners such as warfarin, check with your doctor before drinking rosehip tea regularly, as high vitamin C intake can affect how these medications work.

    People with a history of kidney stones should use rosehips with some caution as high vitamin C can contribute to oxalate formation in those prone to it.
