Organic Hibiscus flower
Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa)
Hibiscus is a vibrant, tropical flowering plant celebrated for its striking crimson petals and tart, refreshing flavor. Native to Africa and widely cultivated in warm climates around the world, the dried calyces of Hibiscus sabdariffa are commonly brewed into a caffeine-free herbal infusion known for its bold color and naturally tangy taste.
Rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, hibiscus is traditionally used to support heart health, help maintain healthy blood pressure already within the normal range, and promote overall vitality. Its tart-sweet profile makes it a favorite for both hot and iced teas, as well as herbal blends and culinary creations.
In many cultures, hibiscus tea—known as agua de jamaica, karkade, or sorrel—is enjoyed daily as a cooling, thirst-quenching beverage. Modern herbalists appreciate it not only for its wellness benefits but also for its versatility in both savory and sweet recipes.
