Let’s talk hibiscus tea
You know, that tea. The one that turns your glass into a vibrant, all-natural red. Who wouldn’t love hibiscus tea?
Originally from postcard-worthy places like Mauritius, Madagascar, Fiji, India and Hawaii, hibiscus thrives in warm, tropical climates — where there’s sunshine, humidity and a general air of “let’s sit back, relax and sip iced tea.”
And when hibiscus tea is steeped? Cue the colour — bright red.
But the real magic?
The flavour. Tart, tangy and berry-like. No wonder hibiscus is the star in so many cultures’ drinks, from Agua de Jamaica in Mexico to Karkadé in Egypt and Sorrel in the Caribbean.
And it’s not just tasty, it’s got benefits:
Hibiscus tea is packed with antioxidants. (Your skin is definitely taking notes).
Some studies suggest it might help support healthy blood pressure. (Science says maybe, we say worth sipping).
Doubles as a mocktail base — sangrias, spritzers, mulled wines… minus the dreaded hangovers.
Finding the perfect match
We source hibiscus for our tea blends from gardens around the world, taking the time to find the right fit for each blend — sometimes that means a little more tartness, a deeper colour or a stronger berry flavour. It all depends on what the tea calls for.
How we do hibiscus tea
Hibiscus Splash
CAFFEINE-FREE
This sweet, tangy & fruity blend is made with hibiscus from Egypt. Imagine a cherry ice pop casually chilling in your glass — living its best life with pineapple, hibiscus and cranberry bits in the mix. Did we mention it’s the ultimate crowd-pleaser for adults and kiddos?
Blood Orange Boost
LOW CAFFEINE
Bright, bold and just the right amount of zesty — this blend balances juicy blood orange with a hint of rosemary. It’s made with GABA green tea, a brainy leaf known for boosting focus and dialing up the calm. And the hibiscus? It’s from Nigeria and it totally understood the assignment.
Organic Queen of Tarts
LOW CAFFEINE
Tart blackberry notes, zero added sugar. Made with hibiscus straight from Egypt, this blend is your go-to for that on-the-go energy boost without the crash (or the sugar rush). Refreshing, juicy, and a great alternative to your energy drink.
We all have a summer hibiscus blend we keep coming back to. So… which one’s calling your name?
