Known as karkade across the Middle East and North Africa, hibiscus tea has been drunk for thousands of years. Each temple bag contains 2g of pure hibiscus flower — deep ruby-red, sharply floral, and completely caffeine-free. Soil Association certified organic and packaged entirely plastic-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the hibiscus\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEgyptian hibiscus (\u003cem\u003eHibiscus sabdariffa\u003c\/em\u003e) is widely regarded as the finest growing origin for tea — the climate and growing conditions of the Nile Valley produce flowers with an unusually high concentration of the deep red calyces that give the tea its colour, its tartness, and its character. The variety is sometimes called roselle, and the tea it produces is known by many names: karkade in Egypt and across the Arab world, bissap in West Africa, sorrel in the Caribbean. Whichever name you know it by, the flavour profile is unmistakable — vivid, tart, cranberry-like, and deeply refreshing whether served hot or cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich size is right for you?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eTemples\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eBest for\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003ePrice per temple\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e15 temples\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e15\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eTrying for the first time\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e33p\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e50 temples\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e50\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRegular daily drinker\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e22p\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e100 temples (2 × 50)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e100\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eStocking up \/ best value\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e20p\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e200 temples (4 × 50)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e200\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBulk \/ household \/ gifting\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e19p\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll sizes are packed in our 100% paper pouch — plastic-free and kerbside recyclable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy choose ours?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEgyptian Hibiscus sabdariffa — the finest origin.\u003c\/strong\u003e We source from Egypt specifically for the depth of colour and intensity of flavour it produces.

Steep for 5–7 minutes for a rich, deeply coloured infusion. Add a small amount of honey to soften the tartness, or a slice of lemon to sharpen it.

Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then pour directly over a glass filled with ice. The rapid chilling locks in the vivid colour and produces an exceptionally refreshing cold drink.

It has been drunk across the Middle East, North Africa, and the Caribbean for centuries, known by different names in different regions: karkade, bissap, sorrel, roselle tea. Our hibiscus tea bags use Egyptian-sourced \u003cem\u003eHibiscus sabdariffa\u003c\/em\u003e — the origin most associated with the traditional karkade preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does hibiscus tea taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTart, vivid, and deeply floral — with a flavour profile close to cranberry or tart cherry. The tartness comes from naturally occurring acids in the hibiscus calyces, and the colour is an intense ruby-red. It is refreshing and thirst-quenching whether served hot or iced. A touch of honey rounds the sharpness without losing the character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs hibiscus tea caffeine-free?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. \u003cem\u003eHibiscus sabdariffa\u003c\/em\u003e contains no caffeine. This tea is naturally caffeine-free and suitable at any time of day, including before bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I make iced hibiscus tea?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlways start with boiling water — pour freshly boiled water over one or two temple bags in a heatproof jug. Steep for 5 minutes, then pour directly over a glass full of ice. The temperature drop locks in the colour and produces a brilliantly vibrant iced drink. Add honey, lime, or fresh mint to taste. For cold brew, place 2 bags in cold water and refrigerate overnight — the colour and flavour develop slowly for a softer, less tart result.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere does your hibiscus come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe source our hibiscus from Egypt — specifically \u003cem\u003eHibiscus sabdariffa\u003c\/em\u003e from the Nile Valley region, widely regarded as the finest growing origin for hibiscus tea. In the event of seasonal shortages we may source from Thailand, which we would communicate clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs hibiscus tea good for you?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHibiscus has a long history of traditional use across many cultures and is one of the more widely studied herbal botanicals. We do not make specific health claims — if you are looking for guidance on hibiscus for a particular health purpose, a GP or qualified herbalist is the right person to advise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many hibiscus tea bags should I use per day?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne temple bag per cup is the standard. Most people drink one to three cups per day. There is no regulated daily limit for hibiscus as a food ingredient; if you have any health concerns or are taking medication, consult your GP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAre the temple bags plastic-free?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The temple bags use a PLA (polylactic acid) biodegradable filter mesh — not the nylon or polypropylene used in many pyramid-style bags. The outer pouch is 100% paper with no foil lining and no plastic film. Kerbside recyclable. No plastic anywhere in the product or packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere is this hibiscus tea made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hibiscus flowers are sourced from Egypt. They are then packed into temple bags and pouched by our small family team in Leicestershire, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I store hibiscus tea bags?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep in the sealed paper pouch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong smells. Once opened, fold the top of the pouch down firmly. Hibiscus is naturally low in moisture and stores well; just keep it away from heat and humidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAlso in our hibiscus range\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePrefer hibiscus without brewing?
