FAQs

Is hibiscus tea a herbal tea?

Hibiscus flower tea is considered a herbal tea because it does not originate from the Camellia sinensis plant. Instead, the calyx from the flower is used to create the tea.

Does hibiscus tea taste better hot or cold?

The flavors of hibiscus tea are released more quickly using hot water compared to cold brewing. Fans of hibiscus find a hot cup comforting and more tangy, but serving this tea over ice offers a refreshing beverage. Ultimately, based on your preference (and possibly the weather), both ways are enjoyable.

Is it good to drink hibiscus tea at night?

Hibiscus loose leaf tea is a caffeine-free herbal blend that naturally contains melatonin. Unlike caffeinated drinks that keep you alert, hibiscus may help you relax to enjoy more restful sleep. The soothing aromas and flavors make it the perfect nightcap.

What is the best way to enjoy hibiscus flower tea?

Relax with the tangy-sweet refreshment of hibiscus loose leaf tea. For a touch of extra zing, add a slice of lemon to enhance the tartness. Or, if you prefer a sweeter cup, adding a teaspoon of honey complements the berry flavors beautifully.
