Wild Hibiscus Flowers in Syrup were originally conceived by company founder Mr Lee Etherington in 1998. Wild Hibiscus Flowers in Syrup are unique. The Wild Hibiscus Flower Company has a dedicated network of contract growers in Australia who grow the flowers to an exact specification. The flowers are picked, de seeded and cleaned by hand. They then travel to Sydney for processing. Here they go through 11 separate stages, which include being hand packed into the jar, there is even a slightly different shaped flower for each part of the jar! New equipment & growers have enabled far greater production however there are major parts of the process that will always be done entirely by hand. This is a hand made product in the purest sense of the word.
In Australia the product is often rated as the top seller by fine food merchants but is always listed in the top 10 sellers at each location, especially during peak demand at Christmas, New Years Eve & through summer. They have been featured on the covers of several important magazines such as Vogue Travel & and Delicious.
Wild Hibiscus Flowers have a sweet raspberry – rhubarb flavor although they offer much more than just flavor. The texture of the flower is firm but pliant, delicious on the palate at the end of a glass of bubbly. The flower is between sweet and tart and the syrup is sweet so you can control the effect on the flavor of the Champagne by how much syrup you put in. The flowers are best served as a garnish in Champagne or a good Sparkling wine. Place a whole Hibiscus Flower in the bottom of a Champagne flute, pour some of the Crimson Syrup in on top and then fill up with Champagne! The Spectacular, Crown shaped flower sits in the bottom of the flute with all the bubbles streaming off and opening up the flower. The Champagne graduates from crimson at the bottom to light pink at the top.
