Harvesting

Organic Loose Hibiscus Cocktail Tea is typically grown in tropical and subtropical regions, including parts of Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. The hibiscus plant, known for its vibrant red flowers, is harvested for its calyces, which are the deep red, fleshy covering of the flower's seed pod. The harvesting of hibiscus calyces usually takes place in the late summer and early autumn months when the flowers are in full bloom and at their peak ripeness. Once harvested, the calyces are carefully dried to preserve their natural composition and vibrant red colour.

The dried calyces are then processed into loose tea leaves, ensuring that the natural nutrients and vitamins present in the hibiscus are retained. Hibiscus tea is naturally rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and minerals such as iron and magnesium.The resulting loose tea has a deep red colour and a tangy, slightly floral flavour profile. As an organic product, it is free from synthetic additives and pesticides, offering a pure and natural beverage option for tea enthusiasts. The natural composition and vibrant colour of the hibiscus calyces, along with its inherent nutritional benefits, make it a sought-after ingredient for creating refreshing and healthful cocktail teas.

The organic nature of Organic Loose Hibiscus Cocktail Fruit Tea means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.
