Hibiscus the Plant and History

The Hibiscus plant, specifically the Hibiscus Sabdariffa variety used in our Herbal Tea, is a member of the mallow family, Malvaceae. It thrives in temperate, subtropical and tropical climates around the world, its flowers varying in colour from the palest white to the deepest red.

It’s these flowers used in the making of Hibiscus Tea Bags, as well as all other Hibiscus products stocked by us. 

Historically, people have used Hibiscus for its medicinal qualities since the time of ancient Egypt. During this period, Pharaohs utilised the herb as a coolant in order to combat the fierce scorn of the desert heat.

Others applied Hibiscus Tea Benefits to their daily lives for treating heart and nerve diseases. Nowadays, such benefits have the backing of much of modern science.

Benefits of Drinking Hibiscus Tea Bags

Hibiscus tea can lower blood pressure in part due to its anti-inflammatory properties. This is according to a study by the American Heart Association, which concluded that just three cups a day is all it takes.

The research project saw sixty-five participants aged between 30-70, all of whom were recognised as “at-risk” from high blood pressure, split into two groups. 

The first group of participants consumed Hibiscus three times a day, while the second group received a placebo. After six weeks, the results determined that the Hibiscus Group “showed an average fall of 7.2 percent in blood pressure, with some recording a 13.2 percent drop.

The placebo group, in comparison, recorded a 1.3 percent drop”. Pretty neat for your morning brew, wouldn’t you agree?
