For several months now I have been nearly obssesed with Hibiscus juice and tea. It all started at place near my old job called Bird Pick that would make a fusion drink with their standard white tea and hibiscus juice. It became expensive, because I would drink one everyday I was at work. So I did some research and found places that sell the flower in the form suitable for brewing. So I thought I should share it with all of you.

it looks expensive......do you know if its sold in health food stores at all? like, any in your area? cause it seems like it'd be cheaper to buy it in person....

That is true, it can be. It all depends on where the flowers come from and what form in comes in; meaning the whole flower or loose-leaf. I used to have the flower, but now I just have the loose-leaf because I mix it with another tea. But yes it is readily available to me in Los Angeles.

but where is it? health markets? asian markets? or just regular markets? cause if it's in one of the first two then it's likely it's here too. :3

It should be in all three. But the selection may be limited or there could only be one choice. At the main-stream market it more than likely be mixed with a filler, so I would read labels carefully. Or better yet, call places first and see if they have it, so you aren't chasing around everywhere.

I am pretty sure they do, and I think it's mixed with something else.
