OK, so I'm really excited about hibiscus...here's my last post on it.

A recent analysis of 12 clinical trials that studied hibiscus tea's effects on BP concluded the following:

Hibiscus works: Drinking hibiscus tea daily for at least four weeks lowered BP about as much as standard prescription BP medications, prescribed diets, and other teas. The tea is most effective in people who have chronically high BP (hypertension).

Effects on systolic blood pressure: When taken daily, hibiscus tea lowers systolic blood pressure (SBP) by an average of 8.8 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). SBP is the top number in your BP reading. It measures the pressure in arteries (small blood vessels) as the heart pumps blood to the rest of the body.

Effects on diastolic blood pressure: Hibiscus tea also lowers diastolic blood pressure (DBP), but not as significantly as SBP. DBP is the bottom number in your BP. It measures pressure in the arteries between heartbeats.

Skip the alcohol, it raises your blood pressure.

Sometimes it’s all about having a great cup of black tea. I love it, myself. And I made my own blend of Assam (India), Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and Darjeeling (India).

• Black tea is rich in antioxidants like theaflavins and thearubigins that support heart health, reduce stroke risk, and may lower cancer risk.
• Black tea can help regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity, making it a smart choice for metabolic health.
• Brewing loose-leaf black tea fresh maximizes health benefits—avoid excess sugar or cream to keep it clean.
• Drinking 2-3 cups daily offers a balanced caffeine boost with L-theanine for improved focus and mental clarity.
• Overconsumption (5+ cups) may cause caffeine-related side effects; moderation is key.

Send me a message if you'd like to get some, or come to the Shelton or Seabeck Saturday/Sunday markets!

It's great blended with lemonade for an 'Arnold Palmer.'
