This is my first time to order bulk hibiscus. It is much cheaper than the hibiscus in tea bags and this brand is one of the less expensive of the bulk hibiscus. Yet, I'm getting a full, rich flavor and deep red result.One thing that I'm not sure of is the amount to use. The instructions on the bag say to use 1 cup of dried flowers to 6 cups of water to make a picture of iced tea. It also states that 5 grams is a service and this one pound bag contains 453 grams of product. I would presume that 5 grams would prepare one cup of tea. One source on the internet says that one pound of dried hibiscus is about 11 cups. So 11 times 6 gives 66 cups of tea. But 453 ÷ 5 gives about 91 cups of tea.I found several recipes online that show using ½ cup of dried flowers to 8 cups of water. That is what I have done and I have to say that the flavor is still quite strong. Using that recipe I should get about 176 cups of tea. The recommended use is one cup in the morning and one cup in the evening. So that would give enough tea for over 12 weeks (or six weeks for me and my wife). Even at that I'm pretty certain we are getting a stronger tea than we would get with the tea bags. It is redder and has a stronger flavor.If you are not aware, the flavor of hibiscus is a tart and slightly astringent flavor. We add some lime juice and Stevia extract to it. Of course, you can add whatever sweetener ( or none) that you wish. I like the flavor. For me it is more of a sipping flavor than a gulping flavor. However, I suspect it would meld well with a fruit flavor such as Crystal Light or Propel, if that is your sort of thing. Hot or cold, I find the flavor interesting and refreshing. It is often my first drink of the day and my last drink. I would, however, suggest you try some from the supermarket fist to ensure you like it. Just because I like it is no guarantee that you will.One more thing, do not expect to get two brewings. While the first brew is dark red and quite strong in flavor, the second brew is a pale pink and with little flavor. You are getting most of the extraction in the first brewing. If you want to make it stretch, consider adding more water to the first brew.

I am really addicted to hibiscus tea, and this brand was really good, it has a nice bold flavor. Add a little honey and it is really good.

Great hibiscus, great price.If you blend the dry flowers a bit first in a blender, you get more powerful color and flavor..

this is a loose tea, and the dried flowers are fairly large. it tastes very authentic

I've been making ice tea out of this for YEARS!! Add dried (or fresh) stevia, a couple bags of herb tea, filtered water, and steep in the fridge! I make half this, half fizzy water. Tastes just like Hawaiian punch but with zero sugar or calories. Nothing bad for you whatsoever.

This product seems to be the freshest I've tried.

I received my order yesterday and made my first batch of tea last night. I really like this product so far. I followed the recipe and it is strong if I am comparing to the local restaurant that serves Hibiscus Tea. After refrigerating over night, I added some water to weaken a bit. I like drinking as is or adding a little Stevia if you like it sweet. I love drinking water and Hibiscus Tea has so many benefits. I will be adding this to my daily routine! I also appreciate that the product is dry and easy to store in the pantry!

I'm drinking this for my blood pressure but the jury is still out on that one. One cup of the dried leaves makes about 3 quarts of blood red tea which I keep refrigerated and drink twice a day. Its quite tart but taste good if you sweeten it up a bit. If there is any significant change in my blood pressure i will update this review.
