Hibiscus

Tea made of hibiscus Flower (Also known as Sour tea) is popularly consumed in various countries because of its medicinal use. It is consumed with honey & without sugar to serve as a natural diuretic for people with kidney problems and many more other health issues.

The plant looks ordinary but has extraordinary health benefits for humans. Every part of the plant has good health benefits.

Hibiscus leaves are good for health since they contain all the vital nutrients and minerals required by humans. Whether you're looking for an herbal remedy to lower high blood pressure or possibly even high cholesterol, as an alternative to green tea, black tea or a caffeine-free beverage rich in Vitamin C, hibiscus tea may just be your answer! 

Hibiscus Tea May Be Even More Beneficial Than Black Tea

A growing body of research suggests that many of the health benefits attributed to tea are largely imparted by its polyphenols. However, green and black tea gets most of the attention in mainstream health reporting. In reality, each type of tea has unique properties due to its special blend of polyphenols, and there is some evidence to suggest that hibiscus tea may outshine black tea in this department.

NOTE: Herbal teas with light, delicate blossoms or leaves require somewhat shorter steeping times and lower temperatures than other heartier herbs. We recommend using 1 - 2 teaspoons of leaf (1 Tea Bag) per 6 - 8oz of near boiling water (180 to 200 F) and steeping 3 to 5 minutes.

This provides a sweeter, better tasting brew while repeated infusions allow you to extract all the nutritional and medicinal benefits from the herb. 

Herbal teas can be brewed in porcelain, ceramic, glass, or stainless steel but never in aluminum or other harmful materials. Be sure to cover the cup or teapot while steeping to prevent the loss of fragrant essential oils and other therapeutic and nutritional elements.
