Description
At the end of a long day, a warm cup of herbal goodness can really lighten the spirits, ease the nerves and soothe the heart and belly. Especially on days when we have had a little too much caffeine, or just too much stress, calming herbs like these can help us transition into relaxation and healthy rest. Sleepy Time is a great end of day tea with chamomile and lavender, Minty Comfort is a calming brew with mint and citrus flavors, and Egyptian Hibiscus

Several of our herbal blends are accented with tart, bright red hibiscus flowers. We are now pleased to offer 100% pure Egyptian Hibiscus! The stunning deep magenta hue of this cup lets you know that it is packed full of bright zingy flavor. Often compared to cranberry, hibiscus is extremely tart – in fact about 15-30% of the herb is made up of organic acids including ascorbic, citric, malic, and tartaric acids, as well as a unique compound known as “hibiscus acid.” A cup of hibiscus infusion has about 10x as much Vitamin C as a cup of orange juice!
Technically, Hibiscus encompasses a very large genus of plants that grow in warm regions all over the world, also commonly called “rose mallow” or “rose of sharon.” One particular variety (Hibiscus sabdariffa) known as “roselle” is most often used for herbal infusions. Roselle is an annual with big showy flowers that boast white petals and a shiny scarlet calyx (the outer part of the flower that later transforms into seed pods). The unusually thick, fleshy calyces are removed from the plant, then dried, cut, and sifted to make a high quality herb which will infuse quickly into your teapot. The vibrant crimson color is partly from anthocyanins – the same powerful antioxidants that can be found in blueberries and Kenyan Purple Tea. Hibiscus is used as an herbal tonic to boost the immune system, decrease inflammation, lower blood pressure, and maintain healthy cholesterol. It also has powerful cooling effects and mild diuretic properties (in the Middle East it is used as a gentle way to treat constipation).
Steeping Time: 3-5 minutes
Water Temp: 212 F
Hibiscus flowers, cut
We encourage you to experiment with your own hibiscus blends – mix with green or black tea, rooibos, any type of sweet spices, lemon/lime, sugar or honey. Use cold hibiscus infusion to punch up fruit juices or cocktails, or whatever you want!
