Hibiscus Flowers

Hibiscus is a dried botanical product derived from the calyces of the Hibiscus sabdariffa plant. It is known for its deep red to crimson colour, naturally tart flavour and distinctive floral aroma. The dried calyces have a firm, slightly brittle texture and a characteristic shape that makes hibiscus easily recognizable among dried botanicals. When infused in water, hibiscus produces a rich red colour and a refreshing sour taste. Hibiscus is commonly used in herbal teas, cold and hot beverages, tea blends, culinary preparations and botanical mixtures. It is also used as a natural ingredient in different food and beverage applications where its colour, flavour and botanical character are desired. The appearance and colour intensity of dried hibiscus may vary naturally depending on the plant material and harvest.
