Vibrant, fruity and beautifully refreshing, Satemwa Estate Hibiscus is made from whole Malawian hibiscus flowers, producing a spectacular crimson infusion with a bright, naturally tangy character. Bursting with flavour and naturally caffeine free, this is a herbal infusion every bit as impressive as its colour.
Our hibiscus comes from the renowned Satemwa Estate in Malawi, an estate with a long-standing reputation for quality and a strong commitment to responsible and sustainable growing practices. Rather than finely cut hibiscus, we use whole flowers, allowing their naturally vivid colour, aroma and distinctive flavour to shine.
Once infused, the flowers transform the water into a striking deep crimson liquor. The flavour is bright and refreshing, balancing a natural fruity sweetness with a lively tartness reminiscent of red berries. It has enough intensity to be satisfying when served hot, yet its clean, tangy character makes it particularly refreshing served chilled over ice.
Hibiscus is also naturally rich in anthocyanins and other polyphenols, antioxidant compounds responsible in part for the flowers' extraordinary deep-red colour. This makes it a fascinating infusion for anyone looking to introduce a naturally antioxidant-rich herbal drink into their day.
Satemwa Estate lies in the Thyolo District of southern Malawi, within the Shire Highlands, an area with a long history of tea and agricultural cultivation. The elevated landscape benefits from its own distinctive climate, with moisture and mist helping create lush growing conditions across the highlands.
What makes this infusion particularly special, however, is its simplicity: 100% whole hibiscus flowers from a single renowned Malawian estate. Nothing is added and nothing is needed. The quality of the flowers provides all the colour and flavour naturally.
Naturally caffeine free, Satemwa Estate Hibiscus can be enjoyed throughout the day and well into the evening. Serve it hot for a rich, fruity infusion, or brew it stronger and chill for an intensely refreshing iced tea.
Whole Malawian hibiscus flowers, extraordinary natural colour and a wonderfully bright, berry-like flavour – a simple infusion with remarkable character.
