Hibiscus (Hibiscus species / Egyptian Red Tea) has benefits of reducing blood pressure, cholesterol levels, aids the immune and digestive systems, and acts as an anti-inflammatory.
Another interesting benefit of this tea is that it speeds up metabolism which may promote gradual and safe weight loss.

As our version of this tea is quite strong, you can reuse the same leaves up to three times. Also good chilled! (maybe even better).

Justyn - "I make 2-3 litres of hibiscus & hawthorn tea at a time before refrigerating it and enjoying it over ice. For 3 litres I use about 6 tbsp of Hibiscus and 1 tbsp of Hawthorn. It is so good I drink around a litre or more of the stuff a day! Great product, great service, great health"
