Description
Hibiscus Powder – The Ruby Red Superflower"
Origin & Harvest Story – Grown in the Heart of Sri Lanka
Our Hibiscus Powder is sourced from the sun-kissed fields of Sri Lanka, where the Hibiscus sabdariffa plant thrives in mineral-rich soil and a tropical climate. Cultivated using traditional, sustainable farming practices, the hibiscus flowers are hand-harvested at peak bloom, carefully sun-dried to retain their deep red color and natural potency, and then finely ground into a vibrant powder.
