Rose and Job's Tears Powder Tea

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.
