Project Title Rosa Tea
Project Category Innovation
Abstract Rosa Tea is made from 100% natural ingredient derived from Hibiscus rosa- sinensis. The flower has been reported to have beneficial effects to treat heart diseases, mainly in ischemic disease and has been used in folklore medicine as demulscent, emollient, refrigerant, aphrodisiac, brain tonic and cardio tonic. This plant is widely grown as an ornamental plant in tropical and subtropical regions of East Asia. Therefore, packing this plant into tea bag will help people enjoy the benefits of this plant conveniently. As there is no risk of chemical effects, consumers are recommended to take the tea twice daily and it would not cause any harmful effect. The tea contains bioactive compounds, such as flavanoids that has powerful antioxidant, anti-bacterial, anti- diabetic and anti-cancer properties. Therefore, the Rosa Tea has great potential to be marketed as a health product and as a pharmaceutical product for medical purposes.
