How much caffeine is in Egyptian Hibiscus Rosehip Botanical Infusion?

Egyptian Hibiscus Rosehip Botanical Infusion is naturally caffeine-free, so each 8 oz cup (240ml) serving contains no measurable caffeine.

What temperature should I use for Egyptian Hibiscus Rosehip Botanical Infusion?

Target 100°C (212°F). Below this range the cup tends toward sourness and thinness from under-extraction; above it, bitterness rises faster than sweetness.

How long should Egyptian Hibiscus Rosehip Botanical Infusion be extracted?

Extract for 5-10 minutes using Teapot or Cold Brew (2 hours), at a ratio of 5g whole calyces per 250ml water, prepared at Whole Dried Petals and Pods. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Egyptian Hibiscus Rosehip Botanical Infusion taste bitter?

Bitterness almost always indicates over-extraction. Shorten the contact time, lower the water temperature slightly, or use less leaf. Change one variable at a time so you can tell which one was responsible.

Who should avoid Egyptian Hibiscus Rosehip Botanical Infusion?

Very high acidity can erode tooth enamel; rinse mouth with water after drinking. Hibiscus may exhibit mild estrogenic activity; consult a doctor if pregnant. May lower blood pressure too far if taken alongside prescription antihypertensives. This is general educational information, not medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own circumstances.
