Pour hot water over hibiscus and the colour arrives before the scent does. Deep ruby, almost impossibly red, the kind of drink that looks like something.

The taste matches it. Bright, tart and clean, closer to cranberry or sour plum than to anything you would call tea. TANAMERA Hibiscus Tea is a caffeine-free herbal infusion, which means you can have a cup at nine in the evening without consequence.

Good hot. Arguably better over ice. 20 sachets per box, 2g each, 40g total.

  • Hibiscus
  • Steep one sachet in freshly boiled water for 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add honey if you prefer it sweeter, since hibiscus is genuinely tart on its own.
  • Serve hot, or chill and pour over ice.
  • Striking deep red colour, no artificial colouring
  • Bright, tangy taste with natural tartness
  • Naturally caffeine-free, suitable at any hour
  • Excellent iced, holds its flavour and colour when chilled
  1. Does hibiscus tea have caffeine?
    None at all. It is made from the roselle flower rather than tea leaf, so there is nothing in it to keep you up.
  2. What does hibiscus tea taste like?
    Sharply tart and fruity, closer to cranberry than to black tea. Naturally sour, with no sweetness unless you add some.
  3. Is it too sour to drink plain?
    Depends on your palate. Many people add a little honey. Iced, the tartness reads as refreshing rather than sharp.
  4. Can I drink hibiscus tea every day?
    It is an everyday herbal tea. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication, check with your doctor first, since hibiscus is one herb where that advice genuinely applies.
  5. How do I make iced hibiscus tea?
    Brew at double strength, using one sachet in half the usual water, then pour over a full glass of ice. Brewing at normal strength and adding ice gives you a watery drink.
  6. Will it stain my cup?
    It can leave a faint pink tint on unglazed ceramic or a plastic bottle over time. Rinse soon after and it comes off easily.
  7. Is hibiscus tea the same as roselle tea?
    Yes. Roselle is the plant’s English name, Hibiscus sabdariffa. Both terms refer to the same drink.
  8. Can children drink it?
    It is caffeine-free and mild, though quite tart. Check with your doctor before giving herbal teas to young children.
  9. How long does a brewed jug keep?
    Two days or so in the fridge, covered. The colour holds better than most herbal teas.
  10. What else is in the tea range?
    The tea collection includes the Lemongrass With Ginger Tea, which is warmer and gentler if hibiscus is too sharp for you.

Please refer to the ingredients list carefully and check for any ingredients that you may be allergic or sensitive to before use.

Natural hibiscus tea with deep red roselle infusion

What are the benefits of hibiscus tea?

The most honest answer is that hibiscus earns its place on taste and character rather than on any medicinal promise.

  • It is caffeine-free. This is the practical benefit most people are actually after. Hibiscus contains no tea leaf, so there is nothing to keep you awake. An evening cup, or a third cup in an afternoon, costs you nothing in sleep.
  • It is naturally tart, without sugar. Hibiscus gives you something with genuine flavour and no sweetener, which is rare among soft drinks and cordials. That is why it works as an alternative to a sweetened cold drink in hot weather.

What you will find claimed elsewhere, and should treat carefully, are health benefits. Hibiscus has been the subject of some research interest, but the findings are preliminary and nowhere near strong enough to make promises about. Drink it because it tastes good and keeps you off caffeine.

This is roselle, not the flower in the national emblem

A reasonable assumption, and a wrong one. Malaysia’s national flower is Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, the one on the coat of arms and the old banknotes. It is not what goes into hibiscus tea.

Hibiscus tea comes from Hibiscus sabdariffa, known in English as roselle. It is a different species in the same family, and the part used is not the petal at all but the calyx, the fleshy red cup that forms around the seed pod once the flower has dropped. That calyx is where the tartness and the colour come from.

Roselle grows well across Southeast Asia and has a long history in the region, usually as a cordial or a preserve.

The same hibiscus family turns up elsewhere in the range, in the Clarifying Hibiscus Body Soap and across the Bunga Merah Edition, where it is paired with rose.
