Reimagining a classic Red Bitter without the sugar.
Rose Bergamot’s profile is a stimulating play of floral citrus and tangy hibiscus, with bittersweet grapefruit, angelica root, yuzu peel, and adaptogens like ginseng and schisandra berry. Its seductive and sumptuous aroma is informed by rose geranium and Moroccan pink rose petals.
Rasāsvāda’s special brewing technique—applied to adaptogenic roots, fruits, and bitter barks— brings out core bitterness, bright flavors, and a smooth ‘mouth feeling,’ without any added sugar. A crimson hue and tangy-sweet tartness are added with the final infusion: quince, citrus peels, hibiscus, and the wafting mint of lemongrass.
With mood and mind boosting properties, heart health and detoxification, Rose Bergamot delivers a balancing effect on the whole body.
