SOURCING
Our Desert Hibiscus is grown along the Nile in Aswan on the Egyptian/Sudanese border. Hibiscus is an edible bright red flower that grows from plants that grow to 3-6 feet in height. Once harvested, the flowers are laid out to dry under the desert sun for up to three days. Our Desert Hibiscus is grown organically.
