Known for its large, showy blossoms, hibiscus is popular worldwide as an ornamental garden plant as well as having symbolic significance in many cultures. The dried flower petals when used as a tisane are reputed to offer antihypertensive effects and a high content of vitamin C. It yields a bright pinkish-red cup color when infused and a tangy-sweet taste to any botanical blend. It is equally delicious hot or iced.
Origin: Egypt | Please note: Hibiscus is intercropped with peanut plants. Those with peanut allergies should exercise caution. | We recommend referring to a healthcare practitioner before using herbs and spices, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.

My hibiscus inclusion doesn't look like the picture. Mine looks like black tea with the flowers, so I've been avoiding drinking in the afternoon. Is it possible mine was mislabeled?
