Features

The stem of the Hibiscus sabdariffa typically presents itself in an erect manner, reaching impressive heights between two to three meters. Adorned with a smooth surface, its stem showcases a verdant green or a deep maroon hue. Radiating with palmate leaves, the hibiscus is comprised of an elegant arrangement of five to seven leaflets. These substantial and expansive leaflets commonly span around 10 to 15 centimeters, edged with a distinctly serrated margin and colored in a rich, dark green.

The blossoms of the Hibiscus sabdariffa are striking in their appearance, predominantly manifesting in hues of vivacious red or delicate pink. They are solitarily poised at the pinnacle of the stem or cosseted in the axils of the leaves. The petals are shaped in the form of a bell, which gently curves backwards upon blooming. These floral coronets measure approximately 8 to 10 centimeters in diameter.

One of the plant’s quintessential hallmarks is its fruit, colloquially known as the calyx or roselle. The fruit boasts a round or slightly ovate shape, with a diameter that encompasses a modest 2 to 3 centimeters. Upon reaching maturity, the radiant exterior of the red fruit is smooth to the touch, containing within a scarlet flesh that houses a multitude of diminutive black seeds.

Yunnan·Roselle (云南·洛神)

Perched in the southwestern territory of China, the city of Baoshan in Yunnan Province basks in a climate that is both warm and moist, furnishing soil of remarkable fertility, propitious for the cultivation of a diverse array of flora. The region is particularly renowned for yielding high-caliber hibiscus flowers, which, through the meticulous husbandry and careful harvesting by local agrarians, are transformed into teas of the finest quality.

Baoshan is acclaimed for its singular and diversely rich natural milieu. Its landscape is a tapestry of mountains and plains woven together, punctuated by a dramatic variance in altitude that fosters distinct soil types and climatic conditions. This unique confluence allows for the cultivation of hibiscus flowers within the same vicinity that boast varying flavors and aromatic profiles.

The local farmers possess a wealth of experience in the art of cultivating and reaping hibiscus flowers, with an unwavering attention to detail. Practices such as harvesting at the optimum moment and with meticulous air-drying techniques are adhered to with diligence. These artisanal processes ensure the exceptional quality and sensory pleasure of the hibiscus tea.

What is Roselle？

Roselle, also known as Hibiscus sabdariffa, is a species of hibiscus plant that is cultivated for its vibrant, deep red calyces, which are used in a variety of culinary and beverage preparations.

In addition to its culinary uses, roselle is also valued for its potential health benefits. It is often consumed as a tea and is believed to have antioxidant properties and to be rich in vitamin C. Some studies have suggested that roselle may help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels。
