Brighten Drinks & Dishes with Kano‑Grown Hibiscus
Hand‑cut, sun‑dried, sifted and non-irradiated petals from our regenerative fields in Kano State, Nigeria bring ruby color, tangy‑tart flavor, and antioxidant power to every cup. Known locally as zobo or sobolo, this hibiscus is the heartbeat of West African refreshment—brewed into cooling drinks, infused into sauces, and baked into bright desserts. Hibiscus is also know across the Diaspora as "flor de Jamaica" or roselle and used in the Caribbean and Mexico to make drinks and teas.
“A splash of Kano hibiscus transforms ordinary water into a ruby tonic—tart, fragrant, and steeped in West African heritage.”
