What are the benefits of hibiscus in infusions?

Known since antiquity, hibiscus is part of the Malvaceae family.

The Egyptians and Asians cultivated it mainly for ornamental purposes but also for its culinary and medicinal qualities.

Long known for its ability to combat insomnia and lower blood pressure , it is now widely consumed as an infusion.

What hibiscus is used in Les 2 Marmottes infusions?

Its cultivation first developed in Southeast Asia and then spread to Africa.

Once harvested, the hibiscus is then dried, cut, sifted and assembled into invigorating bouquets.

Once infused, it releases a bright red color into your cup and its tangy notes allow our two little marmots to make amazing blends, which we love so much!

In which recipes do our master infusers use hibiscus?

Our master infusers harvest the hibiscus flower every year so that you can enjoy it in our 100% plant-based recipes, with no added flavors.

The combination of rosehip and hibiscus in our Rosehip Hibiscus infusion makes it the ideal wake-up drink for a truly invigorating day.

Little marmots also say yes to hibiscus flower. In our brand new Tutti Fleuri recipe, it blends with the sweetness of elderflower and the roundness of raspberry. for a floral and fruity recipe with no added sugar!

You can also extend summer with our Citrus infusion . Zest, fruit and…flowers (hibiscus!) for a healthy drink without coloring, word of the marmots.

On the tea side, hibiscus combines with raspberry to give the tangy notes of our Ça va Frui'thé black tea
