The Roselle or Hibiscus Sabdariffa is said to act as an aphrodisiac and induce lust. It is also anti-bacterial so read on. MY BLUE TEA THE BOUTIQUE STORE FOR UNIQUE SUPERFOODS Benefits of Roselle ROSELLE: SCIENTIFIC NAME: HIBISCUS SABDARIFFA Roselle, also known as Hibiscus tea has a long tradition of use as a health supporting drink and food ingredient. Roselle is well known and widely used around the planet. The key to the unique quality, safety, and convenience of our Freeze Dried Roselle powder is our proprietary Cellular Fraction Line premium freeze dry process. We start with the high quality Hibiscus Sabdariffa that grows and is processed fresh at our doorstep. Our process cannot make the plant better than nature has created it, but it does sustain and deliver all the benefits in a fully dried, stable, highly concentrated powder that has undergone an aqueous ozone anti-microbial treatment. Roselle is not a fruit or a flower. The edible parts used to make the juice or tea are the “calyces,” the red fleshy sepals that cover and enclose the flower ’s seed pods. Ancient Wisdom and Spiritual History: The ancient sages did not have the same tools of investigation or the same vocabulary we use today. Consistent results over long periods of time gave rise to knowledge expressed in the spiritual vernacular of their day. When a culture attributes high value to a botanical item there is often logical observation based reasons behind this. Hibiscus is used as an offering to the Goddess Kali and Lord Ganesha in Hindu worship. The red hibiscus flower is said to incite passion and attract love. Hawaiian women wear a single hibiscus behind the right ear to indicate availability. Egyptian women have been banned from drinking Roselle tea because it is said to act as an aphrodisiac and induce lust. Hibiscus is used in incense mixtures to assist divination and clairvoyance and when the petals are floated on water in a wooden bowl the result is sacred and used to attract good Spirits. Nutritional Value: Roselle is a good source of nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Consuming 100 grams of raw Roselle offers 215 mg of Calcium, 1.48 mg of Iron, 12 mg of Vitamin C, 51 mg of Magnesium, 6.0 g of Carbohydrate, 37 mg of Phosphorus, 208 mg of Potassium, as well as Vitamin A, Vitamin B1, B2 and B3. The flowers are a rich source of anthocyanin (antioxidants) and protocatechuic acid (“PCA”). Let’s look not only at what Roselle provides, but just as important, what it lacks. Nutritional facts disclose very low levels of fat, sugar, sodium and carbs. (1) Keep in mind that in the case of My Blue Tea Freeze Dry’s Roselle powder we have ellimated the water which is approximately 85% of the total weight. It is, thereby, naturally concentrated six to seven times. Roselle tea is a mild infusion. You drink the mild infusion and throw the flower (calyse) away. In the case of Roselle powder from My Blue Tea, you are actually drinking the entire calyse. All benefits, nutritional and otherwise are highly concentrated. Supporting traditional beliefs we know that Roselle is rich in phosphorus. P hosphorus along with calcium is essential to the formation and maintenance of strong bones and teeth. Phosphorus also helps to combat overall weakness including sexual weaknesses such as loss of libido, frigidity, impotence and sperm mobility. (2) Potassium helps to control electrical activity of muscles including the heart and regulation of our body fluids (including water balance). Health benefits include relief from high blood pressure, stroke and other heart disorders as well as regulation of blood sugar levels. Potassium supports kidney functions, and helps to relieve anxiety and stress. It also enhances muscle strength, brain function and supports the nervous system. (3) Anti-Bacterial: PCA has been shown to treat malignant bacterial effected cells taken from human oral cavities.(4) In another study the anti-bacterial effects of PCA derived from Roselle effectively inhibited the growth of bacteria in humans and it was concluded that PCA specifically from Roselle may be useful in clinical infection prevention and therapy. (5) Antioxidant / Anti-Inflammatory: PCA is a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory in general and specifically associated with liver protection. (6) Higher concentration in the color of the red flavonoid pigments in the anthocyanins was shown to have a direct relationship to the antioxidant effects. Under less ideal processing temperatures and storage conditions the anthocyanin content declines. (7) This validates the strong advantage achieved by My Blue Tea Freeze Dry’s proprietary Cellular Fraction-Line Technology. This process is a key factor in delivering the high quality premium freeze dried Roselle powder. Anti-tumor: PCA was found to increase proliferation and inhibit apoptosis of neural stem cells and was found to induce cell death of human leukemia cells. (8) In a laboratory model using HL-60 leukemia cells, PCA was shown to prevent damage to genetic information that could potentially lead to cancer, help destroy existing tumours. (9) PCA was found to inhibit the growth of lung cancer cells (10). PCA contained in Hibiscus Sabdariffa may induce cell death (apotosis) in human leukemia cells.(11) and induce apotosis in human gastric carcinoma cells to help fight stomach cancer. Immune Support: The high vitamin C content in Roselle can be an adjunctive therapy when combined with conventional treatments. Among the long list of benefits of Vitamin C, it may help to boost immunity and improve blood flow. Weight Management: Roselle may help your body to break down your food and decrease absorption of carbohydrates. Roselle has been shown to decrease the synthesis of amylase, an enzyme that speeds up the chemical breakdown of starch into sugars. (13) In addition, Roselle boosts your metabolism allowing you to burn more calories faster. Studies show that Hibiscus Sabdariffa significantly reduces body weight gain due to obesity. (14) Drinking a cup of hibiscus tea after meals will reduce the absorption of dietary carbohydrates and assist in weight loss. Blood Pressure: A report by Diane McKay (antioxidant research laboratory of the Jean Mayer USDA Human Research Center on Ageing at Tufts University/Boston) presented to the American Heart Association (published in November of 2008) states that consuming hibiscus tea lowers blood pressure in pre-hypertensive and mildly hypertensive adults. Dramatic improvement resulted from consuming only three cups of Roselle tea (a mild infusion) daily for a few weeks. Another study conducted by Odigie IP suggests that Roselle can benefit people suffering from high blood pressure and at risk of heart diseases. This is supported by scientific studies which conclude that Hibisucs Sabdariffa consumption may have a public health benefit due to its reduction of high blood pressure and lowering cholesterol in the blood primarily due to anthocyanins found in abundance. (15) Another study describes Hibiscus Sabdariffa as being rich in organic acids, polyphenols, anthocyanins, polysaccharides and volatile constituents that are beneficial for the cardiovascular system and concludes that randomized controlled trials show a significant effect in lowering both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. (16) In addition hibiscus tea has diuretic properties that increase urination, contributing to lowering blood pressure. Lowering Cholesterol: Roselle tea has impressive antioxidant properties. It helps lower “bad” LDL cholesterol, thereby helping to defend against heart disease and blood vessel damage. Diabetes: Roselle's ability to lower cholesterol and high blood sugar levels may help people suffering from diabetes. A study conducted on humans with type II diabetes suggests that consumption of Roselle tea lowers cholesterol, triglycerides and low density lipoprotein cholesterol to help manage diabetes. (17) Anti-ageing: Antioxidant rich Roselle can help to keep your skin looking youthful. Hibiscus Sabdariffa is a natural source of alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA) used in anti-ageing products. In addition, the muscle tightening effect Hibiscus Sabdariffa helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles naturally while strengthening skin cells. (18) Keep cool and breathe more easily: Roselle satisfies your thirst (with no added sugar or sweeteners) and has a cooling (refrigerant) effect. It also reduces bronchoconstriction (nar- rowing of the airways) to allow you to breathe easy. Studies show that Roselle tea decreases the negative effects of drinking alcohol by reducing the absorption of alcohol. Ingesting Roselle has the potential to increase your vitality and lifespan by maintaining good overall health and wellness in many of our organ systems. Our delicious premium freeze dried Roselle powder is a safe and convenient way to make cold or hot tea, mix in your yogurt, baking, deserts etc. The applications of 100% Roselle powder are as unlimited as your imagination. Let’s get healthy! t Avoid ingesting Roselle powder or tea during the first trimester of pregnancy due to possible hormonal interference.

My Blue Tea Australia works with partners to grow, source and produce the highest quality rare plant based superfoods. Buy from stockists or online. ABOUT US MY BLUE TEA, THE BOUTIQUE STORE FOR UNIQUE SUPERFOODS My Blue Tea is a company based in Australia that offers unique superfoods. Our launch products include the Blue Butterfly Tea Powder and Butterfly Pea Flower Tea, made from Butterfly Blue Pea Flowers or scientifically referred to as the Clitoria Ternatea. These flowers are used as an aged old and ayurvedic way to maintain health and overall wellness. Lee, the founder of My Blue Tea, grew up in Malaysia. "We used the Butterfly Pea flowers to provide a blue tinge to rice (known as Nasi Kerabu, a specialty rice) and glutinous rice cakes (known as Pulut Tai Tai & Nonya Chang in Nyonya cooking in the Peranakan community)." The roots, leaves, flowers and seeds of Clitoria Ternatea have known traditional medicinal uses that stretch back in time - especially the roots. In Ayurveda Indian medicine it is known to cure sexual ailments and is used as an aphrodisiac, laxative and diuretic, as a brain tonic to promote intellect and improve memory, to treat bronchitis, asthma, pulmonary tuberculosis, fever, skin diseases like leucoderma, eye infections and is even reported as a cure for ulcers. Active components of Blue tea include tannin, resin, starch, tarakserol and tarakseron. Our Blue Butterfly Powder and Butterfly Blue Pea Tea is a delicate blend of these flowers with a natural flavour on its own or you may wish to add honey or rice sugar, lemongrass, ginger or pandanus yourself to give that extra flavour and medicinal value. Or you may simply choose to add a squeeze of lemon to see how it changes colour from royal blue to purple or pink and impress your friends or guests at the next dinner party. Taste of Blue Tea: The tea has amazing intense blue colour and thick brew looks like blue ink; perfect and safe as a natural food colouring. Flavour is not distinguished and has an all natural earth taste.

My Blue Tea Chef Profile features Brazilian born Rafaela Baia. owner of Yummy Raw Cakes who makes nutrient-packed cakes with nuts and My Blue Tea's superfoods that do not need cooking. MY BLUE TEA CHEF PROFILE Rafaela Baia Rafaela is so proud to be living in Australia, to become a part of Australian culture while also keeping her Brazilian roots - by bringing in her passion and dedication to rock-solid healthy food any respectable grandmother or mother would make for her family out of love. You eat and you nourish your body. You're not just eating to satisfy your hunger.¨ RAFAELA BAIA RAFAELA'S ENERGY BALLS RECIPE Rafaela Baia Owner and Chef, Yummy Raw Far from a Raw Deal Most people associate cakes and bakes with sugars, ovens and probably a few notches too high on the calorie scale. Rafaela Baia is set to change that mentality with her line of raw, yummy cakes. Veronica Lind from our marketing agency, Vermilion Pinstripes sits with Rafaela to understand this raw cake business. We could not believe it when we heard about her raw cakes. Can an unbaked cake even be called a cake? When we saw her beautiful creations we really just had to try them and find out more! We spent a lovely afternoon getting to know Rafaela over a big pot of blue tea (and more than a few slices of her raw pandan cake). Discovering it Raw, an interview with Rafaela Baia Mindful eating is my passion and also a part of my lifestyle. It is what gave birth to Yummy Raw . I love and appreciate good food and I believe there is a way to create healthy, raw, dairy-free, gluten-free, plant-based "happy foods" with no refined sugar. That is how I got started experimenting with recipes and sourcing for ingredients to create my beautiful raw cakes! I use wholesome, healthy, nutrient-packed ingredients such as cashew, almonds, dates to give my cakes sweetness, texture and body. For food to be qualified as "raw", it cannot be cooked over 40 degrees so the nutrients and vitamins do not get destroyed in a typical cooking process. I was cooking in numerous restaurants and those years of observing and experimenting really consolidated my passion in raw foods. I was working in a vegan restaurant when I got obsessed with how incredible plant-based food can be. Once I discovered this, there really was no turning back to cooking with or eating processed foods and chemical-based unhealthy products. "…they are dairy-free, gluten-free, no refined sugar but they taste amazing. You won't believe that there's no sugar in there, that's why I make them with a lot of pleasure. I'm very proud to sell something that is going to be nourished … you can get lots of nutrients and minerals because they don't break down when you cook them like a normal cake." - Rafaela Baia From Brazil to Australia Brazilian families love food and many of our family memories surround cooking. Sunday family lunches were the norm and cooking up a storm was something we looked forward to. Making food together was something that brought us close together. And in those days, our grandparents and parents were big on eating healthy and well, with authentic ingredients straight from the earth. We may not have had a word like ´ecological´ or ´organic´ then, but the food we ate were certainly as real as they could get. We were a generation lucky to have grown up eating real, healthy food. My family even had a food catering business, so I literally grew up in a food environment where cooking and organizing anything related to food was the norm. I guess I kind of got my career laid out for me from the very start! I moved to Port Macquarie because my husband got a job here, and we really wanted to take life more slowly. I was living on the Gold Coast when I first came to Australia, then I was living in Sydney and Lake Cathie. I love living in the middle north coast. I have been living in Australia for over 12 years now and I simply love it here. "I am so proud to be living here, to become a part of Australian culture while also keeping my Brazilian roots by bringing in my passion and dedication to rock-solid healthy food any respectable grandmother or mother would make for her family out of love." - Rafaela Baia Making my beautiful raw cakes is the gift my Brazilian roots have given me. I am also very proud of myself for picking up a new language when I first got to Australia, and starting off a new career myself. Those are achievements my family and I really value. I think I have done pretty well - these were big changes in my life and a lot of moving, changing and settling in. Things sometimes got overwhelming and stressful, and that is when a quiet afternoon of cooking with my healthy, happy, raw ingredients help me to set my balance straight again. You eat and you nourish your body. You're not just eating to satisfy your hunger. Cooking raw food is like my hobby, passion, lifestyle, career, therapy all rolled into one! It has really made an amazing change in my life. Ingredients for the Future I set up Yummy Raw as a company to give me the space I need to experiment and build up my repertoire of raw dishes. I grew up being fed on good quality ingredients and that was a way my family showed love and consideration. Now in my business, I continue to uphold that tradition and I use only high quality ingredients. I am feeding customers who trust in what I am creating and I know however much heart you put into something, you get it back tenfold. So much of my heart is invested in this business, it is important to give the very best I have and to know I have not only delighted the tastebuds of my customers, but also that my creations are nurturing and beneficial to their bodies too. I have also been sourcing for produce locally as far as possible. I love the sense of community that I build wherever I go and if I make the extra effort to just look and ask, life brings me the connections I need to propel my business! It has really boosted my confidence finding local businesses within Port Macquarie. Talking to people, getting to know them, making new connections, and it has really helped me fire up my passion when I meet like-minded people I can collaborate and work with. Setting up a business can feel like a tough, lonely journey at times, so meeting people who share my passion helps to keep me going. I love the sense of togetherness with the people I have met and how supportive everyone has been. This is definitely not a competitive dog-eats-dog arena. Everyone has their own unique space to grow, helped by each other. One of my recent connections is with My Blue Tea . I adore their all natural plant-based powders. These are absolutely beautiful ingredients and it got my creativity buzzing in the kitchen. I found My Blue Tea on Instagram and it was love at first sight. I was mesmerised by the natural blue colour of the butterfly pea flower . I knew I had to get my hands on some of that powder and I already had ideas whizzing in my head about what I could do with it. "Thanks to My Blue Tea, I have created three really pretty new cakes - the Roselle Raw Cake, the Pandan Raw Cake and the Layered Blue Pandan Cheesecake. All raw, natural, unique, delicious, healthy, beautiful and absolutely guilt-free when savoured! Yummy Raw cakes are already power-packed with nutrients - when I add My Blue Tea´s superfood powders to them, that really amps up the cakes in their nutrient value, as well as making them look so incredibly pretty!" - Rafaela Baia Yummy Raw Roselle Cakes All natural colours and ingredients. The pink is from My Blue Tea Roselle Powder and the purple is from Butterfly Blue Pea Flowers Powder. Yummy Raw Blue and Chocolate Cake Mostly nut based "cream" mixed with My Blue Tea Butterfly Blue Pea Flowers powder for that natural blue, purple and pink colour tones. Yummy Raw Roselle and Kaffir Lime Cakes They're really yummy. Beautiful colours and flavours derived from My Blue Tea Roselle and Kaffir Lime Powder. Yummy Raw Cakes The "purple" on this Yummy Raw cake is made from My Blue Tea Butterfly Blue Pea Flower powder. Yummy Raw Roselle Birthday Cake Natural reds and pinks using My Blue Tea's Roselle Hibiscus Sabdariffa powder I am excited to see what new connections I can continue to make in Port Macquarie. I know that is how my creativity grows! Labour of Love Yummy Raw allows me to pursue my passion and create a future for my family - a future built on very healthy foundations! I want to continue to work with plant-based desserts. I love seeing the final product, and here is a little secret confession on my part - my favourite part of the whole cooking process is putting in the garnishes and finishing touches. It is so fun and kind of like a treat for myself to say, well done, you have made another amazing delicious raw cake! Sometimes my experiments do not work out and things do not go as plan, but that is what I also love about cooking. It is very forgiving. I experiment, try different ingredients and methods, and if it works, great, if it does not, it is a lesson learnt. I can dust it off, wash things up, rest with a cup of coffee and try again the next day! I am excited about where my future is going with Yummy Raw . I know I have strong roots to back me up in my culinary career. I have a lot of saudades* for the food and family feasting atmosphere I enjoyed as a child. And in some ways I want to extend this and share this with my customers. Yummy Raw is my labour of love and I am a very lucky person to have grown up with beautiful food and to now be the one sharing this with so many people. * Saudades- (Portuguese) feeling of nostalgia or melancholic longing for the past or for something or someone one loves.
