Hibiscus Herbal Tea

Product Description:
Hibiscus Tea is a vibrant herbal infusion made from the dried calyces of the hibiscus flower. Known for its striking ruby-red colour and naturally refreshing tart flavour, hibiscus has been enjoyed in traditional drinks across Africa, the Middle East, the Caribbean, Mexico and many other parts of the world.
Unlike traditional black, green or oolong tea, hibiscus contains no tea leaves and is naturally caffeine-free, making it an easy choice for drinking throughout the day.

At Brewesty, we select quality dried hibiscus and hand-pack it fresh for every order, preserving its beautiful colour, fruity aroma and distinctive tangy character.

Tasting Notes:
Hibiscus delivers a bright, refreshing cup with pronounced notes of tart berries, red fruits and delicate florals. Its natural acidity gives the infusion a crisp, juicy character, while a subtle sweetness appears as the tea cools.
Served hot, it creates a rich and warming herbal infusion. Served over ice, it becomes wonderfully refreshing and can be enjoyed on its own or paired with citrus, berries, mint or a touch of honey.

Why People Love It:
  • Naturally caffeine-free, making it suitable for any time of day
  • Beautiful deep ruby-red colour
  • Refreshing balance of tart, fruity and floral flavours
  • Delicious served hot or iced
  • Naturally bold enough to enjoy without milk
  • Pairs beautifully with fruit, citrus, mint and other herbs
  • A distinctive alternative to traditional black and green teas

How to Brew

How to Brew
  • Flowers: 1–2 heaped teaspoons (approx. 2–4g) per cup
  • Water temperature: 95–100°C (just off the boil)
  • Steep time: 5–7 minutes
  • For stronger flavour: Steep for up to 10 minutes
  • Iced tea: Brew slightly stronger, allow to cool and serve over ice
Hint: For a softer, sweeter cup, add a little honey or pair hibiscus with berries, citrus or mint.

Storage
Keep in an airtight container, away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture to preserve the vibrant colour, fruity aroma and fresh floral character.
