 Tasty sour tea! Feb 20, 2010
By Voltaire
"nonconformistx7"
I am also trying out hibiscus tea because I have read that there are clinical trials that show hibiscus lowers blood pressure. I'm not sure how strong hibiscus tea is "supposed" to be, but about 10 petals in a coffee mug works for me. The tea produced is very strong and exceptionally sour which, personally, I love. I would say it's similar in taste to rhubarb which I also love. You can add a sugar or sugar alternative if you want, but I say it tastes great straight.
I was expecting this to be a finely chopped powder, but as others have said, these are full petals (see my user added image). You don't really need to buy a tea strainer for this. I use a bombilla sometimes,Stainless Steel Spring Bombilla 1 Count, but really, it isn't necessary. Which is convenient for those of us who get lazy. Put petals in coffee mug, pour in water, microwave for 1:30, voila! Just throw away or eat petals when finished. (They have a nice texture to them after they've steeped for a few minutes).
Other notes: the tea produced is a very deep and pretty magenta. If it spills on something white, like for example my shirt, it turns into an indigo stain. Would probably be good for and all-natural tie-dye.
From Wikipedia:
"A study published in the Journal of Human Hypertension has shown that drinking hibiscus tea can reduce high blood pressure in people with type 2 diabetes. The study results showed the average systolic blood pressure for those drinking hibiscus tea decreased from 134.8 mmHg (17.97 kPa) at the beginning of the study to 112.7 mmHg (15.03 kPa) at the end of the study, one month later.[5] This is consistent with its supposed role as a diuretic."

Refreshing and delicious Mar 25, 2009
By Scout
A friend of mine had tried hibiscus tea and said it was a great "fruity" tea. I bought the Davidson's and was pleased with the product. It is a loose tea and can be steeped for 3-5 minutes. I used roughly a teaspoon per 8oz serving. I sweeten it with agave syrup or honey. It's great served over ice too!

Fast Service, Great Tasting Product Jul 28, 2008
By lightbulbgirl
I ordered the hibiscus tea based on information that drinking two cups per day would help reduce blood pressure. I have not been to the doctor yet to see if this working. The product arrived promptly. I drink two cups per day sweetened with a little stevia. My only critical comment would be that
the packaging doesn't give instructions for preparing the tea, such as how
long it should steep. I have been steeping it for five minutes. If that is too long or too short of a time I hope someone will let me know!

better than most Nov 03, 2009
By G. Shepherd
a great tea, much better than the whole flower hibiscus you find in mexico or spanish markets, because it's ground finer so you need to use less. one bag will last a long, long time, the tea is delicious, and new studies say hibiscus lowers blood pressure. we drink it constantly (add a cinnamon stick, a little sugar, and you're good to go)

Perfect decaf tea. Aug 08, 2008
By I. Kosvin
"IL.K."
I ordered this tea 2-d time, because we like it to drink in the evening. This tea doesn't have caffeine and have soft fruity-sour taste. Easy to make and you can drink it even cold it doesn't change the taste. It was fast delivery and good package.
