Hibiscus Petals

Hibiscus Petals

This amazing flower brings back memories of my childhood as we had Hibiscus growing in the garden and I always enjoyed their presence.

Not only does Hibiscus look and taste really great (when brewed into a tea), it also has a variety of positive impacts on health.
One particularly beneficial effect is on high blood pressure, when Hibiscus tea is drunk daily, it has shown in studies to lower blood pressure (especially systolic blood pressure - the top figure that measures the amount of pressure in your arteries during contraction of your heart muscle).

Hibiscus tea is also helpful in reducing high cholesterol levels, easing muscle cramps and traditionally has been used to support the central nervous system.

It also contains glycosaminoglycans, sucrose, organic acids, copper, iron and anthocyanins, vitamin B3 and vitamin C.
I brewed up some today and gave a cup to everyone here at work and we all agree that it tastes delicious - it is very easy to drink and simple to prepare.

Come in and have a taste
