speaking of the "hip/new age crowd": one of the most popular teas a while ago from Celestial Seasonings was Red Zinger, which had hibiscus as one of its main ingredients.

One of my favorites this time of year is nettle tea. It has a smooth flavor and is nutritious. I let it grow in my garden, then harvest and cook it when it starts to swallow the other plants. The nettle sting goes away after a bit of cooking, 10-15 minutes to be safe.
