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, where our story begins. Sorrel City's tagline, Sweet sorrel straight from JamDung, is more than just a phrase - it's a promise to deliver authentic, hand-bottled Jamaican sorrel to our customers in the NY/CT area.

What is JamDung?

JamDung, a colloquialism for Jamaica, is a nod to our roots and the rich cultural heritage that inspires our craft. According to some people, sorrel is often associated with warm seasonal rituals and special occasions, like Christmas and New Year's Eve, when families gather to share stories and enjoy traditional dishes. At Sorrel City, we are proud to be a part of this tradition, bringing a taste of Jamaica to our customers in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and Connecticut.

A Family Recipe

Our sorrel recipe, passed down through generations, is a closely guarded secret, but we can reveal that it involves a delicate balance of hibiscus, ginger, and sugar. Researchers have studied the nutritional benefits of hibiscus, which is traditionally believed to be rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. While we cannot claim any specific health benefits, we can say that our sorrel is made with love and care, using only the finest ingredients and a proprietary blend of spices that will leave you wanting more.
