Rosehip

Cut pseudofruit tisane, from Patagonia, Chile.

Herbal tisanes

Rosehip is strongest on brightness, fruity and smoothness. Typical tasting words: cranberry, red berry, apple, honey. Long gathered across temperate Eurasia and South America, rosehips were heavily utilised across Europe during World War II as an indigenous source of vitamin C. A traditional base component of fruit teas in Central and Eastern Europe, typically served warm during winter.

Also known as rose haw, rosa canina and wild rose hips.
