United StatesMakes the best tea!
United StatesI’ve made several drinks with steeped hibiscus flower as the base and they all are awesome!!! I’ll be ordering more....a lot more!
United StatesI 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.
United StatesWonderful! Especially for teas.
United StatesI loved this with cinnamon sticks! So good Next I want to try the frosting!
