Why people make this tea
Rose petals have long been a favourite in Chinese herbal tea culture — their gentle floral fragrance makes any cup feel like a small luxury, and in traditional food therapy they are associated with supporting the flow of qi, easing emotional tension, and promoting healthy skin. Job’s tears (coix seed), ground into a fine powder, brings a subtly milky, neutral flavour that pairs beautifully with the rose. In traditional practice, coix seed is valued for its protein content, and is believed to support a healthy metabolism and help keep skin smooth and even-toned. Nourilo combined these two ingredients on a whim one afternoon — the result was a quietly satisfying tea that has become a reader favourite.
What studies say about the key ingredients
Traditional use is not the same as clinical proof. Here is the strongest human research we found for each ingredient, limitations included.
- Job's tears (coix)
Myeloperoxidase activity rose significantly in the placebo group after 8 weeks but showed no significant change in the adlay tea group. Vascular endothelial function improved in the adlay group, especially in those over 40.Limitation: Participants were healthy adults and the outcomes were surrogate markers, so the results say little about clinical disease outcomes. Tea is a polyphenol-rich extract, not whole grain.PubMed 38945894 · 2 more job's tears (coix) studies
