This makes the most beautiful tea. The red color and flavor of hibiscus is especially interesting with a wedge of lime. A small amount of honey gives this beverage just the right balance. My favorite way to drink this tea is on the rocks in a stemmed glass.


I’ve made several drinks with steeped hibiscus flower as the base and they all are awesome!!! I’ll be ordering more....a lot more!

I like the desert hibiscus flower product so much that I ordered a second so I won’t run out. I use it to make iced tea now and will make hot tea as the weather cools. I enjoy the tea but am also hopeful it will assist in regulating blood pressure.
