Capella is a leading producer of water-soluble flavors. Hibiscus delivers clean, tangy hibiscus with a cranberry/red-berry sparkle on top, gentle floral aromatics and a tea-like, refreshing finish. Great for lemonades/sodas, iced-tea builds, agua fresca vibes and brightening berry/tropical mixes.
Use: Concentrate that must be diluted. Floral/fruit notes are dose-sensitive—start low and tune for tartness vs. floral lift. Note: We bulk-source and re-bottle into smaller sizes (not the original manufacturer bottle).

Keep it in the lower range (0.3–1% as an accent), add citrus (lemon/lime) and a touch of sweetness for balance.
Can I make hibiscus lemonade/agua fresca?
Yes—blend with lemon/lime, a hint of orange and optionally Jelly Candy for gummy-style body.
Good in tea-style mixes?
Excellent with green/black tea, mint or ginger for a crisp iced-tea profile.
PG-carried and needs dilution?
