Rose Petals

Description

Damascan Roses are praised by poets an indeed, they lace a mate with their sweet romantic fragrance. This species of roses is the most aromatic of all.  We discovered this delicacy through our exchange with our Bulgarian Ambassadors, and had the opportunity to journey and pluck some of these precious petals for you….

Hand-plucked and dried with love and care, just a pinch of these petals provide a precious potion to your mate.

The tedious process of separating good petals from spoiled ones requires patience

And yes, these petals might have traces of Mate on them.

It was a meditative beautiful time in the Bulgarian mountains experience the culture of collecting Roses. Thank you to all of you who made it possible.
