Description
One of the most antioxidant-rich drinks ever measured. In a landmark study comparing over 280 beverages, brewed hibiscus ranked at the very top, higher than green tea, black tea, and even brewed matcha.
One ingredient. Five continents. Centuries of use. Maison Koko Hibiscus Powder is pure hibiscus flower, finely milled into a vivid ruby-red powder: tart, bright, and unmistakably floral, with a fruity depth often compared to cranberry and red berries.
Known across the world by many names, bissap in West Africa, karkade in Egypt, sorrel in the Caribbean, agua de Jamaica in Mexico, hibiscus has been cherished everywhere it grows. Now it's milled into a single-ingredient powder that dissolves in seconds and turns anything it touches a deep, natural red.
Whisk it into a latte. Shake it into a lemonade. Fold it into baking. Build a mocktail around it. One pinch delivers a colour and a flavour that no artificial ingredient can replicate because it comes from a flower, not a lab.

Why Our Hibiscus Powder Is Different
Most hibiscus powders are blended, bulked out, or processed with additives. Ours is not. Here is what makes Maison Koko Hibiscus Powder different.
Certified Organic
Grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilisers. Clean from field to powder.
One ingredient, nothing else
No fillers, no anti-caking agents, no natural flavourings, no added colour. Many hibiscus powders on the market contain additives that dilute both the flavour and the colour. Ours is 100% hibiscus flower, the entire vivid ruby-red colour and tart flavour come from the flower itself.
Finely milled for a smooth, lump-free result
The milling quality determines how well a powder dissolves and how smooth the final drink is. Our hibiscus is ground to a fine consistency that whisks cleanly into a paste; no grittiness, no clumping, no uneven colour patches in your baking.
The most antioxidant-rich brewed drink ever measured
In a landmark study comparing over 280 beverages, brewed hibiscus ranked highest in antioxidant content, above green tea, black tea, and even brewed matcha. That extraordinary antioxidant density comes from anthocyanins, the same pigments responsible for hibiscus's vivid colour. Our certified organic powder preserves that potency without dilution or compromise.
Naturally rich in vitamin C
Hibiscus is one of the most vitamin C-dense botanicals available. Our powder retains this natural richness through careful low-temperature processing; no high heat that would degrade the nutrients the flower naturally carries.
Completely caffeine-free
Unlike matcha or green tea powders, hibiscus contains zero caffeine, making it genuinely versatile for any time of day or evening, and suitable for anyone avoiding stimulants. The vivid colour and bold flavour are entirely from the flower, not from any processing or addition.
Ways to Use Hibiscus
One of the most versatile powders in your kitchen, and the most visually striking. A single pinch transforms colour and flavour in seconds.

-
Hibiscus Lemonade: Bright, zesty, and ruby-red; the ultimate summer refresher.
-

-

Tip: a little goes a long way. Start with a small pinch and build to taste; the colour develops instantly.
How to Use
The secret to a smooth hibiscus latte: make a paste first. Hibiscus powder can clump if stirred directly into warm milk. So always dissolve it in a splash of hot water before adding your milk.
Hibiscus Latte (1 Serve)
- Add 1 tsp of hibiscus powder to your cup with a splash of hot water. Whisk into a smooth paste.
- Warm 200ml of milk (dairy or plant-based) until steaming, not boiling.
- Pour the milk over the paste, stir, and sweeten to taste with honey, maple, or agave.
- Froth for a café-style finish, and garnish with dried petals if you like.
Iced Hibiscus Lemonade (1 Serve)
- Whisk 1 tsp of hibiscus powder into a little hot water until fully dissolved.
- Add the juice of half a lemon and sweetener to taste.
- Top with cold water and ice. Stir and serve.
Make a batch of hibiscus base ahead of time and keep it chilled for up to 3 days — perfect for quick iced lattes and lemonades throughout the week.

Storage Guide
Cool, dry, and away from direct sunlight
A pantry cupboard or kitchen drawer is ideal. Avoid storing near the stove, kettle, or any heat source; fluctuating temperatures accelerate oxidation and degrade the anthocyanins responsible for the vivid colour.
Sealed airtight between every use
Moisture is the biggest enemy of any fine powder. Always reseal the pouch or transfer to an airtight jar immediately after use. Even brief exposure to humid air can cause clumping and accelerate spoilage.
Refrigeration not recommended
Refrigerators introduce condensation each time the container is opened, which can cause clumping and compromise the powder's fine milling. A cool, dark pantry is preferable to the fridge for dry powder storage.
Up to 12 months from opening
Properly stored, Maison Koko Hibiscus Powder maintains its colour potency, flavour depth, and nutritional profile for up to 12 months from opening.
Always use a dry spoon
Never scoop with a wet or damp spoon, even a small amount of moisture introduced into the pouch can cause the surrounding powder to clump and degrade faster. Keep a dedicated dry spoon near the container if possible.
FAQs
What does hibiscus powder taste like?
Hibiscus has a bright, tart, fruity flavour, often compared to cranberry or red berries, with a floral edge. It is pleasantly sour rather than bitter, and pairs naturally with sweeteners like honey, maple, or agave. A small amount of sweetener rounds out the tartness beautifully.
How is hibiscus powder different from hibiscus tea bags?
Hibiscus powder dissolves directly into your drink, no steeping, no straining, no waiting. You get more concentrated colour and flavour, and you consume the full flower rather than just the steeping water. It also makes hibiscus usable in baking, smoothies, and food colouring applications, where a tea bag simply cannot.
Why does hibiscus powder clump in milk?
Most plant-based powders clump when added directly to milk, hibiscus included. The fix is simple: always whisk the powder into a small splash of hot water first to make a smooth paste, then add your milk. This takes 30 seconds and gives you a perfectly smooth, lump-free latte every time.
Is hibiscus powder caffeine-free?
Yes, completely caffeine-free. Hibiscus is a flower, not a tea leaf, and contains no caffeine naturally. This makes it a genuinely versatile option for any time of day, including evenings, and suitable for anyone avoiding caffeine entirely.
What milk works best for a hibiscus latte?
Oat milk is the most popular choice; its natural creaminess balances the tartness of hibiscus beautifully and it froths well. Coconut milk adds a tropical richness. Almond milk gives a lighter, more delicate result. Dairy milk works well too. Avoid overly thin or watery milks, which can make the tartness feel sharp rather than refreshing.
How much powder should I use per serve?
One teaspoon (approximately 3g) is the standard starting point for a latte or lemonade. Hibiscus is potent; a little goes a long way. Start with one teaspoon and adjust to your preference. For baking, half to one teaspoon per cup of batter or frosting is a good guide. For a more intense colour, add incrementally rather than all at once.
How should I store hibiscus powder?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the lid sealed between uses to prevent moisture getting in, which can cause clumping. Properly stored, hibiscus powder maintains its colour and flavour potency for up to 12 months. Once opened, a sealed container in your pantry or kitchen cupboard is ideal.
