đŸŒș Hibiscus: The Flower That Awakens Your Glow

A Soft Bloom with Powerful Roots

Hibiscus—known for its vibrant ruby hue and delicate floral notes—is more than just a beautiful bloom. In cultures around the world, this flower has long been steeped, sipped, and celebrated for its profound impact on wellness. At THE SELECTION, hibiscus is one of the hero ingredients in our functional herbal tea blend LUMI, chosen not only for its luminous color but for its ability to support your body, calm your senses, and become a part of your daily ritual of soft living.

The Wellness Benefits of Hibiscus Tea

1. Supports Heart Health

Hibiscus is rich in antioxidants—especially anthocyanins—that have been shown to support cardiovascular wellness. Research suggests that regularly drinking hibiscus tea can help maintain healthy blood pressure levels and may reduce LDL (“bad”) cholesterol. It’s nature’s gentle way of supporting your heart’s rhythm.

2. Rich in Antioxidants

The deep crimson petals are full of polyphenols that fight free radicals—those unstable molecules that contribute to aging and inflammation. With every sip, you’re giving your skin and cells an antioxidant embrace.

3. May Aid Digestion

Traditionally, hibiscus has been used to help soothe the digestive system. It’s known to gently support bowel regularity and reduce bloating, making it a lovely post-meal ritual.

4. Naturally Refreshing and Hydrating

Unlike caffeine-based drinks, hibiscus tea hydrates while refreshing your palate. It’s tart, crisp, and slightly floral—offering a sensory experience that feels both uplifting and calming.

5. Supports Glowing Skin

The antioxidants and Vitamin C in hibiscus promote collagen production and help the body fight oxidative stress, which is often linked to premature skin aging. It's why we include hibiscus in LUMI—our skin-loving herbal blend.

Hibiscus in THE SELECTION’s LUMI Blend

Our LUMI tea is a radiant herbal blend designed to support your skin from within. Hibiscus adds a tart brightness that balances the calming floral notes of chamomile and rooibos. Every cup of LUMI is an invitation to glow gently—without rush, without force.

How to Make Hibiscus a Daily Ritual

To enjoy the full benefits of hibiscus tea:

  • Steep at 100°C for 2-3 minutes
  • Sip slowly, ideally as part of your morning or midday ritual
  • Pair with journaling, mindful breathwork, or soft music

Make it a moment that’s entirely yours.
