Hibiscus has long been grown as a minor cash crop in Egypt and because of its hardy nature, grows very well organically. The flowers are planted in sweeping plots that line the Nile, their roots benefitting from the rich silty soil deposited there by the river over the millennia. Once harvested, the flowers are dried and transported to the markets of Cairo, where they are packed and marketed for domestic consumption and export. We're very pleased to offer this special product from the farmlands of Egypt. Excellent either as a blending component in custom herbals or brewed on its own, this organic hibiscus is among the finest available in the world. As a stand-alone tea, the taste is sweet, honey-ish and incredibly fresh.
