1400S Spices Dried Hibiscus Flowers

You'll be surprised how little you need—this hibiscus is seriously concentrated. Most customers mention that just a small amount creates a vibrant, flavorful tea. A few dried flowers are enough for a strong cup, and you can always dilute it to your taste preference. This means your 4oz bag will last quite a while, making it pretty economical.

It's bold and tart with cranberry-like, fruity notes—think of it as naturally tangy and refreshing. The flavor is rich and concentrated, creating that gorgeous ruby-red color you see in Mexican agua fresca. Several customers mention it's actually pleasant without any sweetener, though you can definitely add honey or sugar if you prefer something less tart.

These are whole, intact flowers and petals, which is actually a sign of quality and freshness. Customers specifically praise the whole flower format because it gives you complete control over strength and lets you see exactly what you're getting. Plus, whole flowers tend to stay fresher longer than crushed or powdered versions.

Absolutely! While it makes excellent hot or cold tea, customers have used these flowers for Mexican agua fresca, cocktail garnishes, homemade syrups, and even mead-making. The strong, concentrated flavor makes it versatile for any recipe calling for hibiscus. It's basically a blank canvas for culinary creativity.

No, the package doesn't include brewing instructions, which some customers noted as a minor drawback. That said, hibiscus is pretty forgiving—just add boiling water to a few flowers, steep for 5-10 minutes depending on desired strength, and you're good to go. Hot or cold, sweetened or unsweetened, it's hard to mess up.

Store them in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. A couple of customers mentioned receiving bags that weren't fully sealed or had issues with freshness over time, so transferring them to your own sealed container right away is a smart move. Proper storage will help maintain that vibrant color and fresh aroma.
