Roselle Tea Introduction

Roselle is a type of hibiscus that is native to tropical Africa but is popular all over the world and has literally hundreds of different local names. The reason why this herb is so famous is because many different cultures make a tea or cold beverage from it.

Hibiscus was first made popular as a beverage in ancient Egypt. It was the preferred drink of pharaohs and was perfect for the hot desert conditions. From Africa, it quickly spread all over the world, making it one of the most famous teas in history.

The tea is actually made from the sepals of roselle flowers which are harvested after the flowers bloom. Sepals are the fleshy part of the plant that protects the flower and is usually green, but that’s not the case with roselle. The color of the sepals is a beautiful dark magenta which produces a bright red colored hibiscus tea which is known to everyone. The flavor of this tea is one resembling cranberries, which means it has a tart taste. That is why sugar or honey are usually added to the tea to make it sweeter. Hibiscus tea is also very odorous and has a nice, recognizable smell. It is a great fruity winter tea that will warm you up instantly and soothe your cold symptoms.

Our hibiscus tea is composed of whole roselle sepals which means it has a superior taste to the tea that has been cut because it preserves all of its flavor. Although it takes a bit longer to steep, the difference in flavor is immense so it’s totally worth it.

A cold variation of this beverage is called Roselle juice. It is enjoyed all over the world, but especially in hot climates where it is a favorite refreshment and thirst quencher. People love this icy cold juice in the Caribbean, North Africa, East Asia and Southern Europe. Another great thing about roselle is that it is a completely caffeine free beverage that can be enjoyed any time of the day without the fear of it keeping you awake at night.

This tasty juice can also be mixed with alcohol and it is often used for making amazing cocktails. That is actually a great a combination because roselle can decrease the absorption of alcohol and prevent awful hangovers. So if you want to have a fun night out without the horrible consequences and sickness, mix your liquor with this magical juice.

The amazing thing about roselle tea is that people don’t drink it only because it’s so delicious, but because it can have many positive effects on one’s health. It’s a win - win situation. The medicinal properties of this tea have been known for centuries and fortunately, the knowledge has been passed down. So if you’re looking for a unique tasting tea that can also make your healthier, then hibiscus tea is the right choice. You can drink it all year round in any variation that you prefer and trust us, it never gets boring.
