What is in a hibiscus iced tea?

A typical hibiscus iced tea, drawn from Canberra cafes' menus and reviews, is built from the top down with straw (paper or reusable), mint (a few leaves), citrus wheel (lime or orange on the rim), ice (a full cup of it) and hibiscus tea (dried hibiscus flowers steeped, sweetened and chilled, about 300 ml). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical build, not one cafe's recipe.

Where in Australia is hibiscus biggest?

It is on a bigger share of Gold Coast cafes: 2.3% against Canberra's 1.2%, over the last 90 days.

How does The Froth count this?

A cafe counts for hibiscus from the first Google review we found that mentions it, and while it is on the cafe's current menu. Shares are of the cafes we see well: those with a current menu in the same 90 days, a chain counting once. A change compares the same cafes in the last 90 days with the 90 before, only among cafes we have followed through both, so newly added cafes never look like growth. The 90 days end on the latest day with new reviews or menus (13 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Canberra with all of a trend's names added up. The full method is on our "How we track cafe trends" page.
