My favorite tea

This tea is so delicious. I can't recommend it enough. Don't forget to steep more than once.

Good as a tea and compress

I drink this every night as a nourishing tea and I soak my facecloths in an infusion for my face.

Delicious and life enhancing

Though not a great lover of herbal teas, I have been drinking this one for some time now, and Rare Tea Hibiscus is the freshest I have been able to find. A lot of hibiscus tea on the market comes in almost powdered form, and tastes stale. Rare Tea hibiscus comes is large petals and has a lovely tang as well as jewel like colour. I drink it hot in the morning and also when feeling under the weather, for its comforting and healing properties. It is also very refreshing cold when the weather is hot.

Great depth of flavour

I usually place a handful of the hibiscus in simmering water for 5 mins to draw out the deep purple syrup and then I drink when slightly cooled. Lovely aroma and taste- really high quality product.

11¢ per cup based on 0.07oz of leaf per 5.1fl oz of water and 3 infusions.

We get our fabulous hibiscus from Satemwa in Malawi.

Satemwa provides hibiscus seedlings free of charge to smallholder growers, who are mostly women, that they plant and tend to on their plots.

When they’re ready, Satemwa buys back the flowers, providing a vital extra revenue stream.

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.
