Hibiscus Flowers
(Trailblazer Teas Collection)

There are few things in this world as arresting as a cup of freshly brewed Hibiscus tea — that deep crimson bloom in glass, like liquid garnet catching the sun. It’s the kind of color that calls to sailors and poets alike; bold, untamed, and just a little wild around the edges.

Harvested from the tropical hibiscus flower, these cut petals unfurl in hot water with theatrical flair — releasing a vivid ruby hue and a refreshing tartness that dances somewhere between cranberry and pomegranate. Bright and bracing, it’s a tea that both awakens and soothes, equally at home served steaming on a cool evening or poured over ice beneath the lazy heat of a summer afternoon.

Rich in Vitamin C, hibiscus has been a traveler’s tonic for centuries — known in Egypt as karkadeh, in the Caribbean as sorrel, and wherever thirst meets beauty as a reminder that nature has its own kind of extravagance.

Tasting Notes:
🌺 Aroma: Floral and fruity, with notes of red berries and citrus zest
🍒 Flavor: Tart and lively, reminiscent of cranberry and pomegranate with subtle floral undertones
💧 Body: Medium, juicy, and refreshing
🍬 Finish: Clean and tangy with a pleasant, mouthwatering brightness

Brewing Ritual:
Use one rounded teaspoon of hibiscus petals for 6–8 oz of hot water (around 205°F). Steep for 3–5 minutes, depending on how bold a shade of red your mood requires. Add honey, sugar, or a touch of mint for sweetness and flair — or blend with other herbs to create your own signature potion of color and cheer.

Vivid, tart, and full of life — Hibiscus Flowers are the tropical sunset of teas: unforgettable, unpretentious, and forever ready for an encore.
