On a warm summer evening in Brooklyn, the sounds of reggae music and the smell of jerk seasoning fill the air, and a glass of Sorrel City's hand-bottled sorrel is the perfect complement to the vibrant atmosphere. Made with high-quality hibiscus, our sorrel is not only a delicious and refreshing drink, but it may also have a positive effect on blood pressure.

The Hibiscus Connection

Studies suggest that hibiscus, the main ingredient in Sorrel City's sorrel, may help lower blood pressure in some individuals. The exact mechanism is not fully understood, but researchers have noted that hibiscus may help to relax blood vessels and improve blood flow. At Sorrel City, we use a special blend of hibiscus and spices to create a unique flavor profile that is both refreshing and potentially beneficial for those looking to manage their blood pressure.

In Jamaica, where sorrel is a traditional holiday drink, it is common to see large jugs of sorrel being prepared for Christmas and New Year's celebrations. The drink is often made with a combination of hibiscus, ginger, and spices, and is served chilled, with a splash of rum or wine for those who prefer it. At Sorrel City, we offer our sorrel with optional rum, wine, or sugar, so customers can enjoy it their way.
