MORE INFORMATION ABOUT HIBISCUS

Hibiscus continues to be in the spotlight as the next new beverage flavor sensation to follow in the steps of the market success of green, red and white teas. With a high ORAC value and high concentration of flavonoids, polyphenols and anthocyanins, we believe there is a tremendous opportunity to take advantage of what Mother Nature has provided. The following is only a partial list of science based references and other information about the many health benefits of our prized Hibiscus sabdariffa.
