Natural Products Organic Hibiscus Flowers

I am really enjoying this loose leaf hibiscus tea. I prefer to buy a pound of loose leaf at a time so I can make my own tea blends and have already added this to a couple new blends. It is nicely dried and has a lovely aroma. Once brewed is has a full pleasant floral flavor and makes beautiful red colored tea. It’s easy to brew and appears to be great quality and freshness. The price was very reasonable and I will definitely order again as needed.

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. SUMMARY This 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.

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.

Lovely dried flowers. Not smashed like so many products from other shippers. These are big and beautiful. Packs such a delicious flavor and color to my teas. Full of vitamin C.

The organic quality of these hibiscus flowers is commendable, and the fact that they are non-irradiated aligns with my preference for natural and wholesome ingredients. The 16-ounce quantity provides ample supply, ensuring I can enjoy the health benefits for an extended period. The reason for the four-star rating lies in the packaging. While the product itself is excellent, the package lacks a resealable opening. This oversight makes storage a bit inconvenient, as I have to resort to additional packaging to maintain freshness. A resealable feature would undoubtedly enhance the overall user experience and convenience. Despite this minor inconvenience, the quality of the hibiscus flowers themselves is not compromised. The vibrant color and rich flavor make them a standout choice for those seeking a natural way to support their well-being. In conclusion, Frontier Co-op Organic Hibiscus Flowers is a commendable product that I would recommend for its organic quality and health benefits. The only drawback is the packaging, which could be improved with the addition of a resealable opening. Four stars overall.
