About This Product
Hibiscus Roselle Flower
Hibiscus (Hibiscus sabdariffa), commonly called Roselle, Karkade or Sorrel, is one of the world's most popular herbal ingredients — prized for its vivid natural crimson colour, tart flavour and high anthocyanin content. It is the fastest-growing herbal tea ingredient globally, driven by consumer demand for natural colour, antioxidant content and blood pressure support research.
PAX Herbal operates a dedicated flower and petal cleaning facility separate from our spice and herb lines — ensuring there is no contamination risk from strongly aromatic spices. Dried hibiscus calyx (whole) and petal powder are available. Anthocyanin content is high and tested per batch.
Our hibiscus is supplied to herbal tea brands, natural food colour manufacturers, hair care product companies and nutraceutical supplement formulators across Europe, North America, the Middle East and Japan.
