Traditional Medicinals Organic Green Tea Hibiscus
What it is
This is a blend of organic green tea and hibiscus flowers. Green tea is known for its delicate, slightly grassy flavor. Hibiscus adds a vibrant, tart, and fruity note, often giving beverages a beautiful ruby color. The combination creates a refreshing and aromatic infusion that is both invigorating and soothing. It is caffeine-containing, as it includes green tea.
How people cook with it
This tea can be enjoyed hot or iced. It is a delightful beverage for any time of day.
- Hot morning tea
- Refreshing iced tea
- Afternoon pick-me-up
- Complement to light meals
To prepare, steep one tea bag in 8 ounces of boiling water for about 10 to 15 minutes. For iced tea, steep two tea bags in 8 ounces of boiling water, then cool and serve over ice. You can add a slice of lemon or a touch of honey to enhance the flavor, though it is also delicious on its own. The longer you steep, the stronger the flavor will become.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain green tea, this blend offers a distinct tartness and fruity complexity from the hibiscus. Plain hibiscus tea is typically more intensely tart and floral. This combination balances the subtle earthiness of green tea with the bright, zesty character of hibiscus.

Store the remaining tea bags in their original box in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and strong odors. This will help maintain the freshness and aromatic qualities of the tea until you are ready to brew another cup.
