Rose Hips

The deep ruby color steeps into a beautiful sunset-orange cup, and that bright, tangy kick is just enough to wake up my afternoon without any caffeine jitters. I've been adding a spoonful of honey to cut the tartness, and it's become my little ritual when I need a vitamin C boost.

I've been sipping this every evening instead of my usual tea and the tangy brightness is surprisingly refreshing, plus it's nice knowing there's no caffeine keeping me up. The dried pods hold up well for a second steep too, so one batch gets me through two mugs.

The tangy, fruity kick is surprisingly bright for a dried tea, and I love that I can sip it late at night without a trace of caffeine. It’s become my go-to mug when I want something warm but light.
