Rose Hips (Rosa spp.) — Dried Whole Fruit for Herbal Tea & Daily Wellness

Rose Hips (Rosa spp.) are the dried whole fruits of the wild rose, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Méi Guī Guǒ (玫瑰果) and also called Qiáng Wēi Guǒ (蔷薇果) or Cì Méi Guǒ (刺玫果). For generations, rose hips have been prized as a gentle, sour-sweet food herb used to support digestion, brighten the complexion, and add a lively tartness to daily teas. Their nature is sweet, slightly sour, and mildly warming, making them a pleasant yet nourishing fruit for everyday herbal infusions.
