The Infused Kettle Hibiscus Green Tea

Darjeeling whole leaf green tea blended with hibiscus flower petals. Hibiscus turns the infusion rosy and gives it a clean, cranberry-like tartness that sits well over the grassy green tea. A good everyday cup for people who like a sour, fruity tea without any added sugar.

Key Features

• Darjeeling whole leaf green tea as the base
• Hibiscus petals for a tart, floral flavour and pink-tinged liquor
• Two ingredients only, no flavouring or sweetener
• Drinks well hot or over ice

Ingredients

• Darjeeling whole leaf green tea
• Hibiscus flower petals

How to Brew

• Measure about 2.5 g of the blend into a cup.
• Pour 150-200 ml of hot water and steep 5-7 minutes.
• Strain and serve.
• Lime and mint suit it, and it can be refrigerated or poured over ice.

Good to Know

• Contains caffeine.
• Hibiscus is naturally sour; the tartness is the character of the blend, not a fault.
• Store airtight and away from light so the petals keep their colour.

FAQs

Is it sweet or sour?

Sour. Hibiscus gives a sharp, berry-like tang. Honey balances it if you want it sweeter.

Why is my cup pink rather than green?

The hibiscus pigment colours the water. The shade depends on how many petals end up in your scoop.

Can I steep the leaves again?

The green tea takes a second steep, but the hibiscus gives most of its colour and tartness to the first cup.
