About Hibiscus
Hibiscus flower
The real name of the plant that is taken from, it’s called Hibiscus sabdariffa and it is made from magenta sepals of this roselle flower.
There are 232 species of hibiscus and not all are used for medicinal purposes.
For producing our valuable tea, the only calyx which is red is used and it contains many antioxidants. The most significant vitamin is, of course, vitamin C, and then B1 and iron.
Hibiscus tea nutrition ingredients are fatty acids, omega-3, omega-6, carbohydrates, fiber, protein, vitamins A, C, B1 and B2, iron, copper, and zinc.
Due to those healthy components, this kind of tea lowers cholesterol, reduces high blood pressure, relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression, and also helps with weight loss, digestion and boosting the immune system.
Moreover, it is highly beneficial for diabetes type 2 and its protocatechuic acid has anti-tumor properties.
Hibiscus and Honey
When combined with the liquid gold, such is Honey, you get a recipe for a long and healthy life!
Honey contains propolis and pollen which are good for health and healing.
Propolis is a resin with antibiotic properties and pollen is made of proteins that can heal many allergies. There is the honey taken from flower nectar and it si called blossom honey.
The flavor depends on the type of nectar and sugar composition of honey that it contains: fructose, glucose, maltose, and sucrose. Thus is very useful as a sweetener in your cup of hibiscus tea!
We all know many benefits of daily intake of raw honey but we’ll mention only some of them as we’d like you to use it greatly as a sugar substitute in your hibiscus tea.
Honey is antibacterial, antimicrobial, hydroscopic, acidic (which is good for wounds) and anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory. Benefits are many, such as boosting the immune system and raising your levels of energy. It also helps you with better sleep and digestion and makes great results with skin treatment.

As we would always suggest, taking fresh hibiscus and organic honey is vital for all the mentioned benefits.

Where to buy hibiscus tea?
My recommendation is that whenever you can buy a fresh tea.
Therefore, I recommend Teabox, they send you a tea directly from tea plantations. If you want to try their hibiscus tea, you can do through this link:HIBISCUS LUSH TEA
Hibiscus is such a beautiful flower, and you see them everywhere in tropical climates! I’ve seen them used in cocktails in fancy bars, but never in tea! I’m wondering whether you know of any commercially available hibiscus teas, or whether it’s necessary to buy the dried flowers and make it yourself. People like shortcuts, or at least I do, and having it already sold as tea would be super helpful.
Hi Penelope,
I recommend you to try Hibiscus Lush Tea, from Teabox. (here is a link goo.gl/Ejpj0u). You will enjoy the taste. Tea from store shelfs sometimes are very dry because there is a long way from garden to consumer. This teas are fresher and tastier then any in stores.
I you decide to try, please come back here and share your experience.
I really loved the benefits of it and I have really problematic teeth. I also need some nutrient to protect my bones for my training routine. Do you think will Hibiscus and Honey power drink be a good pre-workout drink?
Hi Furkan,
Hibiscus is full with fatty acids, omega-3, omega-6, carbohydrates, fiber, protein, vitamins A, C, B1 and B2, iron, copper, and zinc, so it will boost your energy level and immune system, but for protecting bones, I suggest you try aloe vera and honey combination.
I wasn’t aware that hibiscus tea was so good for you. It protects your teeth and heart which is great. And mixing it with honey is a bonus. I like it! It has so many health benefits. How much can you have a day? Is there any drink on the market like it?
Hi Rob.
You can take 2 or 3 cups of Hibiscus tea every day. I do not advise buying tea in stores. Tea is like a fruits or vegetables, the longer standing, loses all healthy natural properties. It can happen to buy tea on the shelf in the store stands for months. My recommendation is that whenever you can buy a fresh tea. Therefore, I recommend Teabox, they send you a tea directly from tea plantations. If you want to try their hibiscus tea, you can do through this link: HIBISCUS LUSH TEA
