Let\u2019s talk hibiscus tea<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You know, that<\/em> tea. The one that turns your glass into a vibrant, all-natural red. Who wouldn\u2019t love hibiscus tea?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally from postcard-worthy places like Mauritius, Madagascar, Fiji, India and Hawaii, hibiscus thrives in warm, tropical climates \u2014 where there\u2019s sunshine, humidity and a general air of \u201clet\u2019s sit back, relax and sip iced tea.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when hibiscus tea is steeped? Cue the colour \u2014 bright red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the real magic?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The flavour<\/em>. Tart, tangy and berry-like. No wonder hibiscus is the star in so many cultures\u2019 drinks, from Agua de Jamaica in Mexico to Karkad\u00e9 in Egypt and Sorrel in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s not just tasty, it\u2019s got benefits:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hibiscus tea is packed with antioxidants. (Your skin is definitely taking notes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some studies suggest it might help support healthy blood pressure. (Science says maybe, we say worth sipping).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doubles as a mocktail base \u2014 sangrias, spritzers, mulled wines\u2026 minus the dreaded hangovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finding the perfect match<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We source hibiscus for our tea blends from gardens around the world, taking the time to find the right fit for each blend \u2014 sometimes that means a little more tartness, a deeper colour or a stronger berry flavour. It all depends on what the tea calls for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How we do hibiscus tea<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hibiscus Splash<\/span><\/strong><\/a>
<\/strong>CAFFEINE-FREE
<\/em>This sweet, tangy & fruity blend is made with hibiscus from Egypt. Imagine a cherry ice pop casually chilling in your glass \u2014 living its best life with pineapple, hibiscus and cranberry bits in the mix. Did we mention it\u2019s the ultimate crowd-pleaser for adults and<\/em> kiddos?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blood Orange Boost<\/span><\/strong><\/a>
<\/strong>LOW CAFFEINE
<\/em>Bright, bold and just the right amount of zesty \u2014 this blend balances juicy blood orange with a hint of rosemary. It\u2019s made with GABA green tea, a brainy leaf known for boosting focus and dialing up the calm. And the hibiscus? It\u2019s from Nigeria and it totally understood the assignment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organic Queen of Tarts<\/span><\/strong><\/a>
<\/strong>LOW CAFFEINE
<\/em>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all have a summer hibiscus blend<\/a> we keep coming back to. So\u2026 which one\u2019s calling your name?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
