🌹 Wild Rose Tea — Prairie‑Grown & Steeped in History

Wild roses have traveled a long, beautiful road to reach the prairies. Long before European settlers arrived, Indigenous nations across the Great Plains used native wild roses — especially Rosa arkansana and Rosa woodsii — for food, tea, and ceremony. These hardy shrubs evolved right here in the central grasslands, shaped by wind, fire, and open sky. Their petals and hips became part of prairie life generations before homesteads were built.

Later, European immigrants brought their own beloved Old World roses — varieties cherished in England, France, Germany, and Eastern Europe — carrying cuttings and seeds as symbols of home. These cultivated roses mingled with the native species already thriving across Kansas, but the true “prairie rose” remained the resilient wild one: low‑growing, fragrant, and perfectly adapted to the tallgrass ecosystem.

This tea offers a soft, floral cup rich in naturally occurring antioxidants, supporting everyday wellness and a sense of calm. Its delicate aroma encourages relaxation, and its hydrating, skin‑friendly qualities make it a beautiful daily ritual.
