A daily ritual that's actually delicious.
Deep ruby red, bright and tart like cranberry and pomegranate — hot before bed or over ice on a hot afternoon.
Caffeine free, always
No caffeine at all, so the same bag works for your 7am cup and your 10pm wind-down — without touching your sleep.
Naturally antioxidant-rich
That crimson colour comes from anthocyanins. Hibiscus is also naturally rich in vitamin C — a clean ingredient with nothing added.
One bag, a dozen drinks
Hot tea, iced pitchers, agua de jamaica, sorrel, syrups, jams, even hot-pink kombucha. Two pounds goes a very long way.
One crimson cup, head to toe.
Drag the glass over the body to see what people traditionally reach for hibiscus for — and what it replaces in your day.

🌿 A gentle, honest note
Hibiscus is a food, not a medicine — enjoy it as part of a balanced lifestyle rather than as a treatment, and never as a replacement for medication. Because it can interact with some prescriptions, please check with your doctor if you take medication (especially for blood pressure), or if you're pregnant or nursing. Like anything, moderation is best.

Frequently asked questions
What does it taste like? Is it sour?
It's naturally tart — bright and fruity, closest to cranberry with a hint of pomegranate. Most people love it straight once it's cold; if you prefer it rounder, a teaspoon of honey, agave or a little stevia balances it perfectly. Over ice with lime and mint it's ridiculously refreshing.
How much do I use, and how long do I steep it?
About 1–2 teaspoons of petals per cup, steeped 5–10 minutes in hot water. For a pitcher, use a generous handful and steep longer, or cold-brew it in the fridge overnight for a smoother, less astringent result. Then strain and serve.
Is it really organic, and is anything added?
Yes — USDA Certified Organic, non-GMO and gluten free. It's simply cut & sifted hibiscus calyces: no sweeteners, no flavouring, no colouring, no fillers.
Is 2 lb too much? Will it go stale?
The bag is resealable, and dried hibiscus keeps well when it's sealed away from heat and light. Between daily cups, big iced pitchers, agua de jamaica, syrups and kombucha, most people go through it far faster than they expect — it's a few cents a serving.
Is it safe with my medication, or while pregnant?
Hibiscus is a food, but it can interact with some medications — notably blood-pressure prescriptions — and it isn't generally recommended during pregnancy. Please talk to your doctor before making it a daily habit if either applies to you. Nothing here is medical advice.
What else can I make with it besides tea?
Plenty: agua de jamaica, Caribbean sorrel, hibiscus syrup for cocktails and desserts, jams, sorbet, kombucha (it turns a brilliant hot pink) — and it works as a natural food colouring too.
