Benefits of Highbiscus Tea
Known for its vibrant red color, hibiscus flowers (Hibiscus sabdariffa) thrive in tropical climates and are a common ingredient in teas worldwide. Hibiscus tea is made from dried parts of the hibiscus flower, offering a naturally sweet but tart flavor similar to cranberries. It is ideal for blending into herbal infusions, syrups, or even dyeing fabrics. Hibiscus tea is often referred to as "Agua de Jamaica" in Mexico, Latin America, and North America and is usually served chilled with sugar to sweeten its natural tart flavor.
Hibiscus is high in vitamin C, which supports a healthy immune system. It is also full of phytochemicals, like polyphenols and anthocyanins, known as antioxidants. Antioxidants help protect against the effects of oxidative stress that occurs naturally in the body.
This blend also features dried cranberry, a powerful superfood. Native to eastern North America, cranberries are edible, tart berries commonly enjoyed during Thanksgiving. Like hibiscus, cranberries are high in nutrients and antioxidants, and research has linked the nutrients in cranberries to help with urinary tract infections.
Other ingredients in Highbiscus tea include:
- Stevia: Known for its delightful taste, stevia has been used for thousands of years by the Guarani tribe for its health benefits and to cut the bitterness of teas. It is often touted as a safe and healthy sugar substitute.

- Spearmint: Offers a smooth and bright flavor that is refreshing and inspiring.
