High-quality dried hibiscus flowers for tea and medicinal applications
The most popular variety is Hibiscus Sabdariffa. The red flowers of this variety are most commonly cultivated for medical purposes and are available as dietary supplements.
Hibiscus tea, also called sour tea because of its tart taste, is made from a mixture of dried hibiscus flowers, leaves, and dark red calyces (the cup-shaped centers of the flowers). After the flower finishes blooming, the petals fall off and the calyces turn into pods. These hold the plant's seeds. Calyces are often the main ingredients in herbal drinks containing hibiscus.
