A mango hibiscus tea drink is an infusion of dried hibiscus (roselle) calyces flavoured with mango juice or flavour; hibiscus itself is caffeine-free, so the drink contains no caffeine unless green or black tea is added. Hibiscus gives a deep red colour and tart, cranberry-like taste that mango’s sweetness balances. Ready-to-drink versions typically contain 6–10 g of sugar per 100 ml.
