Health Marketing Claims
'Heart-Healthy, Vitamin C Rich'; hibiscus 'thought to prevent hypertension and lower blood pressure'; contains flavonoids and high vitamin C
Usage Note
Because hibiscus is naturally acidic, dairy milk can curdle/thicken when used as a latte — plant-based milks (oat, coconut) are recommended instead

Research notes

Not a green-tea-based matcha at all — it is pure ground hibiscus processed through a matcha mill, intended to deliver a hibiscus flavor rather than a traditional matcha (green tea) taste. Contains no actual Camellia sinensis.
