Good teas with hibiscus?

I’ve been looking into hibiscus, because it has been shown to be effective in reducing blood pressure. I kinda like Honest Tea’s Black Forest Berry tea – it’s pretty refreshing when served cold – but it’s a bit expensive to buy for frequent consumption.

Does anyone here have any favorite non-bottled teas that contain hibiscus?

Pineapple Lychee Hibiscus

I second that recommendation. Yum! The Key Lime Hibiscus is good too if you love lime flavor, but you have to LOVE lime as it is pretty potent. The Pineapple Lychee is more sweet and pineapple-y.

you got me addicted :) best iced tea for summer ever, no sugar needed

Hey! Try Hibiscus out with some ginger and sugar! Ice well! And if you are looking to infuse it with alcohol, it works great with rum!

We serve White Lion Cranberry Hibiscus at the spa I work at and the guests can’t stop raving about it. I also recently bought Zen Tara Tea’s Organic Hibiscus Botanical Tea at their shop recently. I’m gifting it to a friend so unfortunately can’t review it. http://www.zentaratea.com/hibiscus.html

Silver needle or White peony and hibiscus is always a winner. Hibiscus is really inexpensive, and you can get white peony from any respectable tea store. Just do about 2/3 white tea and 1/3 hibiscus and brew for about 1 1/2 minutes… delicious!

Wouldn’t flowers take longer to brew than tea? How about steeping the hibiscus for a couple of minutes before adding the tea?

Ken said

It would other than the fact that hibiscus is mega mega strong, and white tea is soft and gentle.

Psyck said

True! I’ve never flavoured white before so that didn’t occur to me :)
