Vivid pink red brew. Tart sweet, with hibiscus's distinctive cranberry like character lifted by berry sweetness and rose's gentle floral note. Drinks well hot or cold. Beautifully photogenic colour.

Hibiscus has more than just colour and tartness:

  • Vitamin C. Modest contribution (especially when brewed strongly).
  • Anthocyanins. The compounds responsible for the red colour. Antioxidant activity.
  • Blood pressure. Some evidence links regular hibiscus drinking to a small reduction; this is not a treatment or a substitute for medication or monitoring.

Curator's note: this is the fruit tea I make iced for kids' parties. Pink, sweet tart, no caffeine, no added sugar. The colour alone is half the appeal, feels like a proper drink without being sugary squash. Lee, Teas.co.uk, Tunbridge Wells.
