Roots and reinvention

One drink, three names

You may know it as Zobo, Sobolo or Bissap; the name shifts across communities, while hibiscus stays at its heart. Across West Africa and its diaspora, this deep ruby infusion has long been part of everyday hospitality.

We keep the recipe clear and close to the flower. Dried hibiscus is steeped in water, then sweetened and balanced with fresh botanicals before being bottled in Essex, so the drink stays crisp, bright and easy to pour.
