## About
Pour the water and watch it change: within moments the cup glows a clear, deep ruby, like lamplight through stained glass. This is a tart, cranberry-bright loose tea of deep-red hibiscus calyces, dried whole, and broken rosehips, with no caffeine at all.Both are grown along the Nile Valley, harvested and dried within the same season so the blend keeps its color instead of fading to a tired brown in the tin, and the calyces stay whole rather than crumbling to dust. Hibiscus is drunk everywhere from Egypt to the Caribbean, traditionally valued as a cooling cup for hot afternoons and humid evenings. The rosehip, the swollen fruit the wild rose leaves behind when its petals drop, has long been a folk treasure of the winter larder.DetailsWhole dried hibiscus calyces and broken rosehipsGrown along the Nile ValleyLoose tea, caffeine-freeHow to useSteep one tablespoon per cup for six minutes and drink it hot, sweetened or plain.
