Hibiscus and Tea: Stop and Sip the Flowers

As tea ingredients go, hibiscus is especially easy to love. Its ruby red color offers a stunning visual appeal. Its subtly fruity, lightly floral aroma is distinctively invigorating. Its tangy taste adds a refreshing tartness. But beyond its immediate sensory appeal, hibiscus offers a surprising range of wellness benefits.

Hibiscus and Tea: Stop and Sip the Flowers

Antioxidant-Rich Support (Take That, Oxidants)

Hibiscus is rich in anthocyanins: red, blue, purple, or black pigments that are found in plants (especially flowers, fruits, and tubers). A flavonoid with antioxidant properties, anthocyanins help protect plants from environmental stressors…but they can also provide significant benefits for humans.

Anthocyanins combat oxidative stress by neutralizing harmful free radicals and reducing inflammation. This prevents cellular damage, lowers the risk of chronic diseases, and helps counter age-related cognitive decline (supporting skin health and a natural glow)…and you can enjoy those benefits simply by drinking a cup of any tea that contains hibiscus.

What you’ll notice first about our Hibiscus tea will likely be its deep crimson hue, as well as its sharp, citrusy aroma. The intensely tart flavor of this caffeine-free herbal infusion can be enjoyed warm in cool months, but it’s just as refreshing served over ice on a summer day…and somehow, we think its hidden health benefits make it taste that much better. Available in loose leaf, sachets, teabags, and iced tea pouches.

Our Raspberry Herbal tisane (a mix of rosehips, hibiscus, orange peel, and raspberry flavor) is every bit as inviting. As you might suspect, notes of raspberry (itself rich in anthocyanins) are front and center in this brew’s aroma and flavor, but the hibiscus lends its distinctive tang as well. This herbal tea, too, is available in loose leaf, sachets, teabags, and convenient iced tea pouches.

Tart for Your Heart

Hibiscus has been the subject of growing scientific interest for its potential cardiovascular benefits. In particular, researchers have explored its ability to support heart health by helping to regulate blood pressure and improve cholesterol profiles.

A number of clinical studies have suggested that compounds found in hibiscus (such as the previously mentioned anthocyanins and other polyphenols) may play a meaningful role in relaxing blood vessels and improving circulation, leading to measurable reductions in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Some other studies, examining the effects of hibiscus on cholesterol and overall lipid health, have suggested that hibiscus may help lower levels of “bad” cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides, while potentially supporting healthy levels of “good” cholesterol (HDL): factors that are associated with cardiovascular health.

Our Organic Hibiscus Ginger blends hibiscus, rosehips, apple, echinacea, lemon peel, ginger root, eucalyptus, peppermint, and a touch of clove to create a healthful, caffeine-free, and pleasantly tart brew.

Similarly, our Orange Passion Fruit Tea (made from rosehips, hibiscus, apple pieces, orange peel, and safflower petals with orange and passion fruit flavors) combines fruit and flowers to yield a fruit tea with a strong, fruity aroma and taste, with citrus and passion fruit flavors predominating.
