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.
