Rare Hibiscus Flowers

A delicious herbal infusion made from the beautiful red petals of Hibiscus sabdariffa.  These whole hibiscus flowers produce a beautiful tea, raspberry red in colour.

Exquisitely crafted from the dried calyx (or sepals) which is very carefully hand-removed from the seed pod and then dried.  For every kilo of dry hibiscus 12 kilos of fresh calyx must be collected.

Hibiscus is enjoyed all over the world both hot or cold - often sweetened with sugar or honey. In Jamaica and many other islands in the Caribbean the drink is known as Sorrel. It is known as Bissap in West Africa, Karkadé in Egypt and Sudan, Gongura in India and Brazil and most famously as Flor de Jamaica in Mexico.

It is a mild diuretic, rich in vitamin C and is believed to help reduce blood pressure.

We get our fabulous hibiscus from the Satemwa Estate, Malawi.

Naturally caffeine free.

Cost per cup based on 2g of tea per 150ml of water and 3 infusions.
