The story
The roselle flower in your cup
This is pure hibiscus, nothing else in the bag. The deep red calyces come from the roselle plant, dried and cut so they release colour and flavour quickly. Drop them in hot water and within a couple of minutes you have a cup the colour of a good Rioja, with a sharpness that wakes up your palate.
The taste sits somewhere between cranberry juice and a squeeze of lemon, with a gentle floral note underneath. There is no bitterness, just a clean tartness that makes your mouth water. Some people add honey or a slice of orange to soften the edge; others drink it straight and enjoy the punch.
Hot, it is a bright change from milky brews. Chilled over ice, it becomes a proper summer drink: refreshing, vivid and far more interesting than squash. Make a jugful, keep it in the fridge and pour it out whenever the afternoon drags.

Good questions
Things people ask us in the shop
Does hibiscus tea contain caffeine?
No. Hibiscus is naturally caffeine-free, so you can drink it morning, noon or night without any effect on your sleep.
Can I add milk to hibiscus?
It is best without. The tartness does not pair well with dairy. Try honey, a slice of orange or fresh mint instead if you want to soften the flavour.
How many cups will I get from a 100g bag?
Using about 3g per cup, a 100g bag gives you roughly 33 cups. The 250g bag stretches to around 80 cups.
Is it good iced?
Very. Hibiscus makes one of the best iced teas going. Cold brew it overnight or brew hot and chill. Either way the colour stays vivid and the tartness is refreshing.
How should I store it?
Keep it in an airtight container, away from heat, light and strong smells. A cool cupboard is ideal.
