Sorrel drink in a clay pot with hibiscus and ginger

On a crisp winter morning in the Bronx, the smell of simmering sorrel fills the air, transporting us to the sun-kissed hills of Jamaica. At Sorrel City, our tagline, Sweet sorrel straight from JamDung, is more than just a phrase - it is a promise to deliver authentic, hand-bottled Jamaican sorrel to our customers in the Northeast.

We take pride in sourcing the finest hibiscus calyxes, carefully blending them with spices and sugar to create a drink that is both refreshing and rich. Our small-batch approach ensures that every bottle of sorrel is made with love and care, just as our grandmothers used to make. Whether you are in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or Connecticut, you can taste the difference that traditional Jamaican recipes and high-quality ingredients make.

What is JamDung?

JamDung, a colloquialism for Jamaica, is more than just a place - it is a state of mind. It is the warmth of the Caribbean sun, the vibrancy of the culture, and the richness of the land. When we say Sweet sorrel straight from JamDung, we are inviting you to experience a taste of that warmth and hospitality in every bottle.

As a boutique food brand, Sorrel City is dedicated to sharing the beauty of Jamaican cuisine with our community. From the Bronx to Brooklyn, and throughout Connecticut, we are proud to bring a piece of JamDung to your table.
