Rose Petals (Rosa rugosa) — Dried Edible Pingyin Rose Petals for Tea, Bath & Foot Soak

Rose Petals (Rosa rugosa) are the sun-dried petals of the celebrated Pingyin rose, known in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as Méi Guī Huā (玫瑰花). Grown in Pingyin, Shandong—long honored as the home of China's finest roses—these large, whole petals have been prized for centuries as a gentle, qi-moving flower herb used in teas, beauty rituals, and soothing baths. Its nature is sweet, slightly bitter, and warm, making it a mild yet fragrant herb for harmonizing the Liver, easing mood, and beautifying the skin.

Quality & Sensory

Each batch is gently sun-dried to preserve the petals' deep rose-purple color, soft velvety texture, and rich floral aroma. When brewed, the petals unfurl slowly and release a delicate, honeyed rose fragrance with a smooth, mildly sweet taste and a faintly bitter finish. In a warm bath or foot soak, they soften and diffuse their calming scent through the water.

Traditional Uses

In folk herbal practice, Mei Gui Hua is brewed as a daily tea to gently move Liver qi, lift the spirits, and ease occasional low mood. It is a classic ingredient in beauty and skincare rituals, where the petals are steeped for facial steam or added to warm baths to soften and brighten the skin. In TCM food therapy, rose petals are paired with chrysanthemum, goji berry, and jujube in seasonal teas, and are also used in foot soaks to relax the body after a long day.
