This week for 1 minute videos,
I’m focusing on some of the world’s healthiest teas.
Today…Hibiscus Tea

Hibiscus tea is made from the hibiscus flower. According to my research, the tea is sour and sometimes called “sour tea”, with a flavor slightly reminiscent to cranberry.
Going into this week of covering different types of tea, I assumed that matcha tea probably had the highest anti-oxidant content. But, after watching a video from nutritionfacts.org, I may have been mistaken. Could Hibiscus be healthier?
According to the video, a study done in 2011 on the anti-oxidant content of 3100 foods, shows that HIBISCUS TEA has a higher anti-oxidant content than MATCHA TEA!
Yes, you read that right.
The study looked at the anti-oxidant content of 283 beverages.
