Frontier Co-op Organic Hibiscus Flowers, 16 Ounce, Sun Dried Bright Red Color, Fruity Flavor, Non Irradiated, Non ETO, KosherUSDA Organic

Package arrived rather quickly, shipped via Amazon Prime. You get a lot of product (bright red in color), and great value for your hard-earned money.HOW DID I USE IT:I boiled 8 cups of water in a medium-sized pot, poured/added 2 cups of Hibiscus Flowers and some blended Ginger to boiling water. (Note: I Used Vitamix blender to blend Ginger very well, but any blender of choice, is good). covered pot with lid, I lowered flame to Low, and let ingredients seep for around 8-10 mins. After that, remove from heat and let stand overnight to be cool off, so I can extract every ounce of goodness from it. Next day, I hand-squeezed the flowers, strained it only once with a perfect strainer I purchased right here on Amazon, added a dash of sweetener of my choice. I placed deep red drink in Mason Jars, and put in fridge to get that cool refreshing, mellow goodness. All I can say is YUM, YUM, Yum--shut the front door!TART Versus NON-TART:Though some may not like its tartness, it's definitely not an issue for me. In fact, if it's not tart I feel like it's not doing much in terms of health benefits, of course. Because if I simply pour hot water on it and let it sit for only 5 minutes, for me it tastes like water with color added to it, and that's not how I like it.--that's just my opinion. That being explained, just do whatever works for you.SUMMARYThis is exactly as described. It is thoroughly sifted and very clean. I had no issue with debris, hair-like strings or sticks, or any trace of foreign object included in this package/product. This made a delicious, scrumptious, mellow, drink. I drank to my heart's content. I highly, most definitely recommend it to those who may be considering future purchase.IMPORTANT NOTEPlease always note carefully, that I'm not a doctor, I'm just a consumer of this product who've tried it and absolutely loved it.

According to many sources, this is a very nutritious tea and loaded with anti-oxidants. It does have a powerful tangy taste and can pair wonderfully with a date when brewed and served hot. It can also give you many cups of tea. If brewing in the infusers that is inserted into cup, you will get progressively less darker brew and less intense flavor with each cup you brew, otherwise it is best o brew it in a teapot in larger amounts.It can also be brewed and served cold for a delicious refreshing drink in summer and/or mixed in with carbonated water for a fantastic fizzy drink. Here is how to brew it for cold serve:INGREDIENTS> 1 Cup Dried Hibiscus Flowers> Orange Or Lime Slices For Garnish> 3/4 To 1 Cup Sugar. Sub for honey or other sweetener. This will counter the tangy flavor.> 1/2 Cinnamon Stick (A Must) or Powder Equivalent> A Few Thin Slices Ginger or Powder Equivalent> Black Pepper or White Pepper> 2 Quarts Water> Lime Juice (Optional)METHODPut 4 cups of the water and the sugar in a medium saucepan. Add cinnamon, ginger slices, etc if you would like. Don't bring to a violent boil.

This Hibiscus tea from Frontier is BY FAR the BEST Hibiscus tea I have ever tasted. It is fresh and strong. No stale flavor at all, and I don't need to use as much for a delightful cup of tea as with other brands I've tried. Frontier products are always wonderful!

I am happy with the quality of the tea. As other reviewers have stated, these little flowers are potent and will go a long way. I use about half of the recommended amount and it works great.The tea itself has a rich, but slightly sour and astringent flavor with just a touch of sweetness. I can drink and enjoy it without using sweetener, which I consider very important.I bought this tea specifically for its rumored anti-high blood pressure properties. I can happily report that drinking it on a regular basis has decreased my blood pressure by about 7-10 points. I’m happy I wasn’t one of the people who it doesn’t work for. I’ll be continuing to drink this and as long as frontier keeps up the good product pricing, I’ll be buying it here again too!When I was thinking of purchasing I was curious about what the tea looked like. While some reviewers described it pretty well, nothing beats a picture, so I included a picture of the tea here in my review.*If you thought this review was helpful, please click yes below.
