Hibiscus Beauty Elixir
Pique uses a patented 'Cold Brew Crystallization' process that preserves up to 12x the antioxidants of regular tea bags. Their 'Triple Toxin Screen' for pesticides, heavy metals, and toxic mold (mycotoxins) is the most rigorous in the industry.
Ingredients & Purity
Organic hibiscus and organic mint. The crystallization process uses low-temperature extraction to keep delicate polyphenols intact.
Scientific Evidence
Third-party lab tested for over 138 pesticides. While specific RCTs on this exact blend are limited, hibiscus is well-studied for blood pressure and skin health.
Brand Transparency
Pique is one of the few brands that publicly emphasizes their screening for mycotoxins (mold), a common but rarely discussed issue in dried herbal products.
Value Assessment
Premium pricing. The cost per serving is significantly higher than traditional bags, but justified for those prioritizing purity and maximum antioxidant density.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most herbal tea bags are made of bleached paper or nylon (which can release microplastics). Pique's crystallized form eliminates the bag entirely while ensuring the tea is free from the mold and heavy metals often found in hibiscus sourced from regions with poor soil regulation.
