The Love Blend

The Love Blend - Rose Oolong Tea

Dharmsala Tea Company's Love Blend, or the Rose Oolong Tea, is a floral blend made using organic roses grown in our tea estates and our signature, hand-rolled oolong tea. Beautiful, aromatic rose petals add the perfect relaxing touch to the smooth, creamy and earthy taste of oolong.

Our oolong tea is an exquisite tea. It is oxidized to medium levels by our tea masters, using careful processing techniques to strike the perfect balance. Given the medium level of oxidation, our hand-rolled oolong is a light to medium bodied tea, and has a smooth, creamy flavor, with floral and toasty notes. The oolong tea leaves are hand-rolled by our tea makers, ensuring that all the delicate flavours and notes of the oolong tea are retained. The leaves and the hue of the brewed hand-rolled oolong tea is a beautiful light golden colour.

The organic rose petals we blend the oolong tea with are also special in their own way. Grown in our tea estates, these damask roses have a subtle, gentle sweetness that complements the oolong tea notes perfectly. The rose petals impart their beautiful scent to the blend through an intricate blending process that lasts several days. When the rose flowers are harvested, the oolong tea leaves are laid out, with fresh rose petals separating layers of tea leaves. The layered leaves and flowers are left overnight, while the oolong tea leaves absorb the fragrant, aromatic oils and flavour from the roses.

ABOUT THE INGREDIENTS

Hand-Rolled Oolong Tea

Oolong Tea combines the goodness of green and black teas, improving alertness, boosting immunity, reducing absorption of fats, improving lipid metabolism, lowering cholesterol levels, and promoting healthier skin. Oolong Tea is unique in that it contains high levels of beneficial catechins such as EGCG (present in green tea) as well as theaflavins and thearubigins (present in black tea). Research has shown that steady consumption of oolong can lead to lower risks of having high total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL or “bad” cholesterol levels. Similarly, studies have shown that oolong tea could decrease body fat content and reduce body weight through improving lipid metabolism. Regular consumption of oolong tea may also prevent against obesity. Further, the characteristic flavanoids of oolong tea, theasinensins, promotes several health-inducing actions such as anti-inflammation, anti-oxidant activity, anti-obesity (by increasing energy expenditure and fat oxidation), anti-microbial activity and promotion of better heart health.

Damask Rose Petals

Rose Petals, in this case of the variant rosa damascena, are naturally uplifting. Roses have been found to contain certain plant flavonoids that have strong antidepressant properties and can help stabilise mood swings and ease nervous tension. Besides its perfuming effects, studies have shown damask roses to be rich in phenol compounds that have several pharmacological properties including anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-oxidant, anti-diabetic, and relaxant effects. Damask Roses are found in several of our floral blends like Himalayan Rose Tea, Rose Green Tea, Relaxing Tisane, Rose Oolong Tea, Snowy Valentine, the Nutcracker Blend, The Winter Sun, and the Himalayan Beauty Blend.
