Depending on where you live, Hibiscus infusions go by many, many different names. In Senegal, the drink is known as Bissap and is commonly thought of as the national beverage. In T he Gambia, the infusion goes by the name of Wanjo in Mali Dabileni and in Nigeria, Tsobo. Most famously however, the tart red infusion is known as Karkadeh, or Karkady in Egypt, where it has been enjoyed since the days of the Pharaohs. Egyptian legend has it that Tutankhamen's royal cookbook contained recipes for brewing the refreshing beverage. (And as they used to say back in the day, if it's good enough for the Pharaoh, it's good enough for me!) These days, on street corners from Aswan to Cairo, vendors prepare and dole out cup after cup of sweet Karkadeh to refresh passersby in the hot Egyptian sun.Tea Type: Organic Hibiscus pieces from Nile River Delta in EgyptAntioxidant Level: Low Caffeine Content: None - Caffeine Free Show more
