Organic hibiscus tea, made from crushed dried hibiscus flower. Bright crimson in the cup, sharp and fruity, and naturally caffeine free. Crushed rather than whole, which means it brews faster and gives up more of its colour.

Hibiscus Flower is high in Vitamins A & C and rich in anti-oxidants. Studies suggest that hibiscus may help to treat high blood pressure and maintain healthy levels of cholesterol. It also acts as an anti-inflammatory which is good for digestive health and may relieve symptoms of arthritis. Hibiscus aids in detoxification and liver health. Its bright crimson colour and tartness makes a delicious tea to enjoy on its own or add a dash of sweetener. Can be served hot or as a refreshing iced tea.

How to brew. One heaped teaspoon per cup. Water straight off the boil, 100 degrees. Steep five minutes for a bright cup, longer if you want it sharper. Serve hot, or brew double strength, cool it and pour over ice.

Perfect on its own or add sweetener to taste
One of the most visually dramatic teas in the range — deep crimson in the cup, sharply tart, and unmistakably itself. Hibiscus is rich in anthocyanins with well-documented antioxidant properties, and it has been used in traditional medicine across Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America for centuries.

It suits those who like their tea bold and bright, those who prefer cold-brewed fruit teas in summer, and those who want something genuinely different in both colour and character.

Common questions

Is it safe to drink hibiscus tea every day?

For most healthy adults, one to three cups a day is a normal habit and has been for centuries in Egypt, Mexico and West Africa. It is tart, caffeine free and gentle on the stomach. If you drink a lot of it, or you have a health condition, raise it with your doctor or pharmacist. This is general information, not medical advice.

Who should not drink hibiscus tea?

Our label advises against it during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Anyone taking blood pressure or heart medication should speak to their health practitioner first, because hibiscus is known to interact with some of them. The same goes for anyone on diuretics or medication for diabetes.

Which hibiscus tea is the healthiest?

Whole or crushed dried calyces rather than dust in a bag, organically grown, and nothing added. That is what this is. Crushed flower brews faster than whole and gives you more colour and tartness per gram, with the same flower behind it.

What should you avoid when drinking hibiscus tea?

Avoid brewing it in a bare metal pot, because the acidity can pick up a metallic edge. Avoid stewing it much past ten minutes unless you like it very sharp. And keep it away from medication times if your pharmacist has flagged an interaction, rather than taking the two together.
