Absolute Hibiscus Tea (certified organic) – by Bravo Tea
Hibiscus, thought to have originated in tropical climes of Africa, was brought to the New World by African slaves in the 17th century and quickly became a common source of food & drink in Mexico, Central, and South America. It was (and still is) most commonly made into a tart, thirst quenching tea… In Mexico, they add lots of cane sugar, orange slices, and ice to make a traditional concoction called Agua de Jamaica (or sorrel in the Caribbean Islands).
Medicinally speaking, hibiscus herb is used to quench thirst by replenishing body fluids depleted by overexertion/overheating in the sun (“summer heat” in TCM language) and will also help soothe a mildly sore throat. Modern research also suggests that hibiscus can help to manage mild high blood pressure and cholesterol/LDL levels because of (1) the presence of antioxidants and; (2) its action to inhibit angiotensin-converting enzme (ACE).
