Inspiration: Ghanaian Sobolo | Hibiscus • Apple • Ginger • Cinnamon • Cardamom • Clove • Pineapple • Red Peppercorn • Lime Flavoring

Rhythm & Brews is inspired by Ghana and the tradition of sobolo—a hibiscus-based drink brewed with ginger, spices, citrus, and fruit, enjoyed hot or iced.

Our blend replaces the West African spices with cinnamon, cardamom, clove, and red peppercorn, which provide a warmth that partners well with zingy ginger. The sweetness of the fruit and slight tartness of hibiscus make this a complex yet well rounded drink, one you can sip on to unwind late at night or to liven up your day. Enjoy this with a sweetener of your choice, preferably over ice.

Cultural and Historical Context:

Sobolo is one of the hibiscus-based teas of West Africa, alongside the similar bissap, zobo, and wonjo, as they are called in other parts of the region (or sorrel in the Caribbean), the beverage family that would inspire the creation of the "red drink" of African-American culture. Sobolo tends to be spicier than its cousins, flavored with plenty of West Africa-endemic spices such as hwentia. One of the most popular beverages in Ghana, it is frequently sold by street vendors and served at events including weddings and funerals.

Ingredients:
Hibiscus, Apple, Ginger, Cinnamon, Cardamom, Clove, Pineapple, Red Peppercorn, Lime Flavoring
