Our rose petals are dried and "whole". This does not mean that they are unbroken, but that they have not been purposefully cut, powdered, or broken into a much smaller size. These are organic red roses of the species Rosa centifolia. Only our 10 g size is prepackaged and ready for immediate sale; all other sizes must be requested. 10 g amounts roughly to ¼-⅓ cup.
Our herbs are sourced from high quality food or tea grade distributors unless otherwise noted, but they are for magical purposes only as they have not been repackaged in a commercial kitchen and therefore are not approved by Health Canada for consumption. All items are stocked at our booth at the 400 Market. All our prices are inclusive of sales tax within Canada.
