Hibiscus Roselle Tea — Naturally Caffeine-Free

This blend pairs roselle hibiscus calyces (Hibiscus sabdariffa) with whole-leaf green tea. The hibiscus gives the infusion its deep crimson colour and a tart, cranberry-like edge; the green tea rounds it out so the cup is not one-dimensionally sour. It is a good iced tea base and a bright alternative to fruit juice.

Key Features

• Roselle hibiscus — the culinary Hibiscus sabdariffa variety, not ornamental petals
• Whole-leaf green tea blended in for body and a softer finish
• Colour: deep ruby liquor with no added colouring
• Flavour: tart and fruity, finishing clean
• Excellent chilled or as a base for iced tea with mint

Ingredients

• Hibiscus roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa)
• Green tea

How to Brew

• 2.5 g in 250 ml water, just off the boil.
• Steep 4 to 5 minutes — hibiscus needs longer than most leaf teas to release colour and flavour.
• Strain. Do not add milk; the acidity will curdle it.
• Iced: brew double strength, cool, pour over ice and add mint.

Product Details

• Type: hibiscus and green tea blend, loose
• Storage: airtight, cool and dry, away from sunlight

Good to Know

• Because the blend contains green tea, it is not caffeine-free — the hibiscus component itself is.
• The infusion is naturally tart; a little honey balances it if you find it sharp.
• Hibiscus stains cups and light fabrics, so rinse promptly.

FAQs

Does it contain caffeine?

Yes, a small amount from the green tea. Hibiscus on its own contains none.

Why is it so tart?

That is the natural acidity of roselle calyces. Shorter steeping and a touch of sweetener soften it.

Can I drink it cold overnight?

Yes. Cold-brew 5 g in 500 ml water in the fridge for 6 to 8 hours, then strain.
