For the familiar red hibiscus infusion, the ingredient is commonly the dried calyces of Hibiscus sabdariffa: the fleshy structures around the flower. 'Hibiscus flower tea' is a familiar description, but the full ingredient identity is more useful than a decorative flower photograph.
A flower photograph is not identification
The genus Hibiscus includes many plants. An ornamental flower in a garden is not automatically the ingredient in a packaged tea. Use a food product with clear ingredient information rather than treating a photograph or common name as a collecting guide.
Check the whole ingredient list
A packet highlighting hibiscus can still be a blend with other ingredients. Those additions may affect flavour and the appearance of the cup. When comparing products, distinguish a plain hibiscus infusion from a recipe or mixture that includes it.
Explore the actual product
K&M lists Hibiscus Tea Bags in its range. Read that page and its preparation directions when choosing a packet. For a useful tasting note, record the product name and any additions instead of writing only 'red tea', which could describe several different drinks.
