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



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



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



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.
