Our Dried Hibiscus

Sifted, tested Nigerian hibiscus in four export offerings — matched to tea blenders, beverage producers, natural-colour and extraction plants, and ingredient distributors.

Grade A whole dried Nigerian hibiscus flowers, deep red and free of stems, in a woven basket Beverage Grade
Sifted whole calyces, deep red, Jigawa / Kano type

Grade A Dried Hibiscus Flowers

Our flagship export: whole, sun-dried Hibiscus sabdariffa calyces from northern Nigeria, machine-sifted and hand-picked to remove seeds, stems and dust, with the deep red colour and sharp tartness that tea blenders and agua de jamaica producers look for.

  • Whole sifted calyces, deep red to burgundy
  • Low moisture, clean cup with bright acidity
  • Seeds, stems, sand and dust removed
  • NAQS phytosanitary + lab certificate per shipment

Tea-Bag Cut Hibiscus (TBC)

Grade A calyces cut and screened to a uniform tea-bag size (typically 1–4 mm, or to your sieve specification), de-dusted and ready for tea-bagging machines and herbal blends without further processing at destination.

  • Cut from Grade A sifted calyces only
  • Screened to 1–4 mm or your sieve range
  • Fines and dust removed for clean infusion
  • Consistent colour and acidity across lots

Hibiscus Flower Powder

Clean Grade A calyces milled to a fine, free-flowing powder for instant beverage mixes, natural food colouring, bakery and confectionery, smoothie and supplement formulations.

  • Milled from sifted Grade A calyces
  • Mesh size to your specification
  • Vivid natural red-magenta colour
  • Packed in lined bags to protect colour and moisture
Grade B dried hibiscus calyces, mixed sizes with some broken pieces, heaped on a jute sack Extraction Grade
Unsifted and broken calyces for extraction and colouring

Grade B Industrial Hibiscus

A cost-effective grade of dried hibiscus for buyers who process rather than present the flower: broken and mixed-size calyces, unsifted or lightly sifted, for colour and anthocyanin extraction, concentrates, syrups and animal-feed additives.

  • Broken and mixed-size calyces, same deep red colour
  • Unsifted or lightly sifted to your tolerance
  • Lower price per tonne for extraction use
  • Lab-tested and NAQS-inspected like all our grades

Specifications & Grading

How We Specify Dried Hibiscus

Every quotation is accompanied by a specification sheet covering whole-calyx content, admixture, moisture, colour, total and acid-insoluble ash, together with the food-safety limits of your market — microbiology, pesticide residues and heavy metals — and the phytosanitary treatment your destination requires. Figures are confirmed per shipment by accredited laboratory analysis and NAQS inspection and, at the buyer's request, by third-party inspection.

We prefer to agree a specification in writing before sourcing starts rather than publish generic figures. This protects both parties and ensures the cargo matches your process and clears your border.
