Autumn Goddess of the Luo River ─ Organic Roselle | Jam, Candied Fruit, Taro Pastry

As autumn deepens, fields along the riverbanks burst into vibrant crimson blooms of roselle flowers. Though called flowers, it is truly the tart and sweet calyces that leave a lasting impression — tender flesh, fragrant aroma, carrying the essence of the land and the farmer's care.🫘 Locally preserved seeds for greater resilience 🫘 This year’s sudden storms tested both farmers’ endurance and crop resilience. Ordinary roselle plants can grow up to two meters tall; once toppled or broken by wind, they wither quickly, often resulting in high breakage rates. Drawing from years of experience, farmers have specially selected locally preserved varieties that grow shorter and closer to the ground, reducing wind damage and enhancing disease resistance. After six months of cultivation, wine-red calyces with spotted bases finally emerge — visually stunning, crisp in texture, and exuding a refreshing fruity fragrance.🧺 Farm to table: harvest fresh, enjoy fresh 🥣 When roselle flowers mature, their calyces slightly open to reveal the seed core — the ideal moment for harvesting at peak freshness. Their tangy-sweet flavor and crisp-aromatic texture make them perfect as the soul ingredient in jams, candied fruits, and pastries. Wander through autumn farms, embrace nature's rhythm, hand-pick ruby-like roselle blossoms, and experience an organic journey from field to table, savoring pure local flavors and the joy of harvest. 🌿✨ Organic Roselle Jam ✨ Using natural pectin extracted from the seeds, tender flower flesh is finely chopped and slowly cooked into a thick, rich jam. Delicately floral with a naturally balanced sweet-tart taste, free from additives and guilt-free indulgence. Whether spread on bread or used as filling, every bite brings delightful surprises. ✨ Candied Roselle Preserves ✨ Preserved using traditional natural methods without any chemical additives, fully retaining the roselle’s crisp texture and refreshing sweet-sour taste. A healthy organic snack, also a versatile ingredient for baking and desserts. ✨ Taro-Roselle Pastry ✨ Crispy flaky crust, creamy smooth taro paste, complemented by tangy-sweet roselle jam — rich in layers, sweet but not cloying. One bite releases an interwoven aroma of flowers and taro, leaving a lingering aftertaste. 🌸 Autumn Workshops 🌸🥣【Roselle Self-Harvest Experience ➕ Jam & Preserves】🥣Date: October 25 (Saturday)Time: Session 1 【Organic Roselle Jam】: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM (2 hours)Session 2 【Candied Roselle Preserves】: 2:30 PM – 4:30 PM (2 hours)Capacity: 10 participants per sessionFee: $250 per person (same price for adults and children)Activities:🌱 Guided tour of Hop Wai Farm and village🌱 Organic roselle self-harvest experience🌱 Making roselle jam or preserves (200ml in glass jar)🥠【Taro-Roselle Pastry】🥠Date: November 9 (Sunday)Time: 2:00 PM – 4:30 PM (2.5 hours)Capacity: 10 participants per sessionFee: $250 per person (same price for adults and children)Activities:🌱 Guided tour of Hop Wai Farm and village🌱 Making taro-roselle pastryNote: Pay-per-use parking available in Hop Wai Village; SEED event participants enjoy a special rate of $50 for full-day parking.WhatsApp inquiry: 5209 6172⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰⋱⋰ ⋱🌸【Preview】November Workshop | Roselle Self-Harvest Experience ➕ Jam & Preserves🌸👉 Subject to roselle growth conditions, registration for November workshops will open at the end of October.
