Wild Hibiscus Flowers in Syrup

Wild Hibiscus Flowers in Syrup - 8.8 Oz Jar

These hibiscus flowers in syrup are not "flowery" or "floral" tasting as some may think. They work great in drinks, (there are some recipes with the bottle that are excellent), as well as for desserts. For example, I had a cheesecake recipe calling for hibiscus flower topping made with a simple syrup. They are very similar to dried cranberries in flavor, but much more beautiful. I recommend this product to anyone who wants to add an exotic flair to mixed drinks, or to make a dessert more interesting and flavorful.

Hibiscus Flowers - Flor de Jamaica

Hibiscus Flowers - Flor de Jamaica 8 oz by El Sol de Mexico

I read a clinical medical study of Hibiscus tea and statin drugs for cholesterol in which the results were the same for each in lowering cholesterol. Since I don't tolerate the drugs very well I purchased this tea. I also tried the brown bag organic but it is chopped up into little pieces and I like this one which gives the whole flower. Also its stronger and makes more tea with just a few flowers. I make it by the pitcher as suggested by a reviewer here for Mexican Aqua fresca and drink it all day instead of tea and coffee. Shortly after, my lab results showed an increase in my good cholesterol. With some dietary changes and my hibiscus tea I feel I am taking control of my own health and can't say enough about this product. I can't wait to see my next lab results.

Rishi Tea Organic Jamaica Red Bush Roobios

Rishi Tea Organic Jamaica Red Bush Roobios, Loose Tea, Caffeine Free, 3.31-Ounce Tin (Pack of 2)

This is, in my opinion, is hands-down the best loose tea I've ever had. It's a unique blend of flavors and you can really taste the lemongrass, hibiscus flowers and the honey bush! It's really tough to find loose tea anymore. Trying to find one that's fair-trade, certified organic and caffeine-free at a good price is next to impossible. I got this tea at Amazon for half the price I paid for it at a gocery store. Really a good product.

The Tao of Tea, Hibiscus Herbal Tea, Loose Leaf, 3.5-Ounce Tins (Pack of 3)

This is a very high quality hisbiscus team made with good size petals. Much cleaner than any hibiscus (kerkede) tea I have got from Sudan or Uganda. The beautiful reusable cans are a bonus! Highly recommended.

Grove Square Hot Cocoa, Single Serve Cup for Keurig K-Cup Brewers

These Grove Square Hot Cocoa flavors are by far the best tasting we have found for the Keurig. We took a chance on these due to the high review ratings and it was a pleasant surprise that all three flavors are really good. Dark Chocolate - My favorite, very good even on the "large" cup setting
Milk Chocolate - Excellent on the "small" cup and good on the "large" cup setting
Peppermint - Everyone likes this one, on either cup size setting. These do contain Sucralose in addition to sugar, I don't notice the taste but my wife does (but she still likes them). Highly Recommended!

Twinings Earl Grey Tea, K-Cups for Keurig Brewers

This is my favorite of the currently (1/2007) available K-Cup Earl Grey teas. To calibrate this review to your tastes: (1) I like *tea*, plus this one flavoring, not herbs with a little bit of tea -- I'm even finicky about how much Bergamot gets put in. (2) I prefer Twinings to Stash (in bags, not available in K-Cups) for that very reason. Twinings is sightly less expensive than Gloria Jean's or Celestial Seasonings, and has the "cleanest" taste of the three. If you like a "brighter" or more flowery taste, go for the Celestial Seasonings; or if you like a more "complex" or "spicy" taste, choose the Gloria Jean's.

Celestial Seasonings, K-Cup Portion Pack for Keurig K-Cup Brewers

Before buying my Keurig brewer, I never really like black tea. I would drink herbal tea from tme to time but black tea always seemed too bitter. After trying Celestial Seasonings English Breakfast Tea, I was instantly converted. There is no bitter taste and it's so much less acidic than coffee and therefore much easier on my stomach. It has a mild, slightly fruity taste that is perfect with breakfast or really anytime of day. I've tried it plain and with a bit of milk and sugar as well. I honestly have become more of a tea drinker than coffee drinker since trying this delicious tea.

The Republic of Tea, Get Some Zzz's Tea, 36-Count

I love bedtime teas and use different types. I would call this one of my super teas for sleep help. No, it won't knock you unconscious -- never the objective -- but it makes me very sleepy and provides a peaceful, restful sleep. I often use this on nights when I want to get to sleep earlier than my usual routine bedtime, for an earlier than usual wake-up time. I have no scientific knowledge to base this on, but I think the herbs/ plants in this help to shut off my brain a bit faster than just trying to fall asleep on my own, thus allowing me to change my sleep cycle to an earlier bedtime and wake-up.

The Republic of Tea, Double Green Matcha, 50-Count

The previous reviewer did not read the description, nor pay attention to the picture on the tin. The tin clearly shows both green tea leaves, and matcha powder. The product description also clearly states that this product is "organic green tea powder known as matcha with fine, organic green leaf tea". In other words, the tea bag contains green tea leaves, along with a bit of matcha powder. It is an excellent tea if you are the casual tea drinker, or someone looking for a healthy, tasty and organic green tea (with a bit of added benefit of the matcha powder). If you are a true matcha drinker, then this is not the product for you. I find this to be an excellent organic green tea.

The Republic of Tea, Blackberry Sage Full-Leaf Tea, 50-Count Tea Bas

I first tasted this in my school's cafe. Im crazy about everything in this tea! sage is on my favorite herb list and blackberry is on my favorite fruit list. The tea steeps pretty strong, and is flavorful enough to consume without sweetner. This is my favorite tea at the moment next to anything green tea or chamomile. good stuff!

The Republic of Tea, Natural Hibiscus, 36-Count

My husband and I love the Raspberry Quince tea from Republic of Tea and we actually received this as a sample bag when we ordered the Raspberry Quince bottled tea from RoT. I tried it and have to say that it's really good. The hibiscus tea has a hint of berry and citrus, lending it a nice fruity flavor without being overpowering. The natural sweet flavor is a bonus as it means I can have it without adding any sugar or artificial sweetener. This tea can be steeped hot or as iced tea. The tea is also caffeine-free, and the main ingredients are hibiscus (flower), sweet blackberry (leaf), and stevia (leaf). Refreshing and wonderful!

Hibiscus Tea 24 Bags

I have been drinking three cups of this tea for the last month and a half. I just had my annual checkup with my doctor and my blood pressure was 108/60!!!! After years of it being it the 140's or 135's my blood pressure is now like a young person and I am in my sixties. I had been monitoring my blood pressure at home and it was good but usually when I see the doctor it shoots up because I am nervous but not this time. My doctor was thrilled. I totally believe that this tea has lowered my blood pressure and I will continue drinking it. I steep it for 10 minutes. I have two cups after breakfast and one cup after dinner. It tastes good and I don't put any sweetener in it. I highly recommend it as it did work for me.

China Green Tea Special Gunpowder 1 Kilo (1000grams or 35.27 Oz) Guaranteed Authenticity

This tea is excellent but you need to be careful how you brew it. You can't boil it or let it brew for a long time. Your water should be from 165 to 200 degrees. The hotter the water the shorter the brew time. If you brew it too long or too hot, it will release too much of the nasty bitter tasting tannins. They dissolve at 176 degrees. Now, a little is ok, but too much gives you that puckered feeling in your mouth. I brew mine at 185 degrees (which is 2+ cups of water in the microwave for about 4 3/4 minutes) for 2-5 minutes. Take out the leaves and you're good to go. You can adjust the times and temps to your own taste, but it will really taste bitter if it's too hot or brewed too long. But it has a nice alfalfaey (Im from Nebraska) taste when done right.

Davidson's Tea Bulk, Gunpowder Green

Davidson's Tea Bulk, Gunpowder Green, 1-Pound Bag

This has to be one of the best bargains on green tea ever. No, it's not a high-end gourmet tea - but it's not intended to be. What it IS, is a terrific everyday green tea. Mellow, slightly earthy, and very pleasant on the palate. Second brewing yields a good cup, as well. As with every Davidson' tea I've ordered, the quality of the leaves was wonderful, with very little dust, or stems. It's obvious that they care about their product, and it shows. The origin is not stated, but who cares? The tea is just fine.

Davidson's Tea Bulk, Herb Pure Org Hibiscus Flowers, 16-Ounce Bag

I ordered the hibiscus tea based on information that drinking two cups per day would help reduce blood pressure. I have not been to the doctor yet to see if this working. The product arrived promptly. I drink two cups per day sweetened with a little stevia. My only critical comment would be that
the packaging doesn't give instructions for preparing the tea, such as how
long it should steep. I have been steeping it for five minutes. If that is too long or too short of a time I hope someone will let me know!

Bormioli Rocco Kufra Glass Jug with Ice Container and Lid

I've had mine for about 9 months now and I love it. I don't have a dish washer in my apartment so when I went looking for a new pitcher, it had to be easy for me to clean. This one's great. I can easily fit my hand inside to clean it. The glass is also nice and solid. I accidentally dropped it washing it one day and it was fine.

Takeya 64-Ounce Iced Tea Maker with Silicone Handle, Avocado/Olive

I saw a larger version of this with a separate brewer - so you'd make the tea in one vessel and then store it in another. I went in search of something more practical and this is it.
1. Good capacity and design. Makes plenty of tea and stores on the fridge shelf or on the door.
2. Some don't like the fact that the filter screws into the lid. I do like it. If you make a whole container, that's enough loose tea to have small pieces of your tea floating out of the top of the filter if you make a whole pitcher.
3. I use a java bop for my iced tea and haven't found even a speck of leaf in the finished product. Great sized mesh.
4. I use the hot water method and it stays HOT for a really long time. At first I was annoyed that I had to wait so long for it to cool down before chilling it. Then I realized that it makes it great for a table pitcher for hot beverages. I can wait for something that performs a dual-purpose well.
5. Great for using herbs, etc. to infuse just about anything.

Bodum 10619-10 Ceylon 102-Ounce Iced-Tea Maker and Water Infuser

I've used this container for about a year now and have no complaints! It's withstood the test of time and still offers a great tea/iced coffee pitcher. Im a huge ice coffee fan and this container is great for it. Large enough to hold a great deal of liquid, but slick design allows it not to take up that much room in the fridge. I've noticed the side walls becoming slightly staind from using it so much, which is understandable after a years use. But other than that, I seriously cant complain. Highly recommend for anyone who likes iced tea and enjoys offering an aesthetic pitcher to hold it in!

Aladdin Tea Infuser Mug

I have had this mug now for about 1 month and I use it every day about 5 times each day. It has never broke, got stuck or anything. It infuses the tea perfectly and then when it's done, I just pop the infuser back into the lid. The tea stays warm for about 1 1/2 hours or so. It is great for the car, park or walking to the bus stop. It's easy to clean as well. I highly recommend it.

Trudeau Tea Mendous Tea Tumbler

This Tea-Mendous is really a tremendous product. It's a great size, easy to clean and convenient. On a chilly day I put tea in the basket, add hot water and take it with me to water aerobics. When I get out of the pool, I have hot tea waiting. This product works equally with hot, warm or cold water.

Thermos Nissan JMW500P6 16-Ounce Stainless-Steel Backpack Bottle, Silver

This is a super product! I take mine everywhere - in the summer it's great for ice coffee and in the winter I use it for hot coffee. I've had mine for about 6 months and use it 3-4 times a week. I love being able to drink from the bottle and not fooling around with lids and cups etc. It goes to class with me - lying flat in a briefcase and has never spilled a drop.
If you need a small thermos with built in drink spout this is IT! Oh and if you need something bigger I also bought the Nissan Thermos and it keeps things hot for over 24 hours... holds ice for days... I am so impressed. Enjoy!

Thermos Nissan 12-Ounce Stainless-Steel Tea Tumbler with Infuser

This is a great product- leak proof with amazing heat/cold retention. For tea drinkers, I just thought I'd add a better description of how the tea lid works. It is actually not a strainer for leaving the tea leaves in the cup (the tea would be so bitter!), but an ingenious way of brewing tea! You put hot water in the cup, then screw on the strainer, add the loose tea leaves, screw the top lid on, and turn the cup upside down for a quick brew! (Since it is leak-proof, you actually can turn the cup upside down easily) After brewing, you just turn it right side up and replace the strainer holding the spent leaves with the sipping lid, and voila- a quick and pretty decent cup of tea! Highly recommended.

Adagio Teas Ingenuitea Teapot

My wife bought one of these when we were vacationing in Eureka Springs a year ago, and I thought it was another gizmo to add to the cupboard. Was I wrong. I started using it more and more, mostly for green tea, and thought it would be good to have one for work as well. So I ordered one from Cooking.com and use it all the time. I just put the tea leaves in the container, add hot water, let it sit for 5 minutes, then set it on top of my cup. The valve on the bottom opens up and the tea pours into the cup, with out the leaves (with the green tea I buy from China, the leaves are full leaves, and I can get another 2 cups out of it, so refilling is easy). The nice thing is, I can use it for coffee as well as black tea. The coffee, especially if you grind your own, tastes so much better. To clean, I just invert in a trash can, and rinse out what's left.

FORLIFE Brew-in-Mug Extra-Fine Tea Infuser with Lid

This item is well-designed and works as advertised. Only the tiniest of particles get through (like tiny dust specks). The holes are so small that residual water inside won't pass without something forcing them through (so it leaves a few drops of water inside when removed). It fits a broad range of mugs, and the lid is sealed so that when you use it to hold the infuser between uses, it won't leak. (The silicone gasket is firmly attached to the lid, so liquid won't seep between it and the steel.) Only stainless steel comes in contact with the liquid, so there is no impact on the taste.

Finum Brewing Basket

One you use this strainer, you'll never go back to the tea infuser balls. The basket doesn't limit the amount of loose leaf you can use like the balls do, and you won't find small bits of leaf in the bottom of your cup either. The lid helps to hold in heat, and acts as a coaster for the basket when you lift it from your cup. The basket is easy to clean under running water.

Celestial Seasonings, Herbal Tea, K-Cup Portion Pack for Keurig K-Cup Brewers

I really like this tea! It has great flavor and is really easy to make. I like it with just a tiny bit of sweetener and a wedge of lemon. That being said, to get the amount and strength I like for my tea I have to use 2 k-cups for one cup of tea. I usually do two 6 oz brews and it is just right. I can go up to an 8 oz brew and still have good flavor but I want more than 8oz at a time. For me it is just too expensive to use 2 k-cups at a time. I have compromised with myself and still keep the k-cups around to use if I am in a hurry (or just extra lazy) but I mostly just use the tea bags of the same flavor. I find it really isn't much more difficult or time consuming to use my keurig machine for hot water to steep a tea bag in. The tea bags are just much more economical for me.

Progressive Stainless Steel Mesh Tea Ball

I have used many things for brewing tea and have found that this Mesh Tea Ball is the best. I have used the loose tea spoons, which have a closed metal design with little holes all around. The problem with those, is the smaller loose tea pieces escape leaving unpleasant floaties in my drink. I really like the mesh design. Loose tea bits do not escape and it is much easier to fill. I cannot believe I waitied so long before getting one. Now my tea is free from floaties. This mesh design allows more of the tea to be infused by the water....leaving a much more natural and pure taste as opposed to tea bags or metal spoons. Tea bags seem to filter too much sometimes.....metal spoons almost taste metallic at times.
