Wow! I’m excited. As I shared with you all,  I’m going on vacation to Hawaii soon.

Lady Gaga is currently in Hawaii vacationing with Speedy. What the singer needs to know, is that she’s in the land of America’s hottest new tea flavor craze for Pua Aloalo tea.

Here’s why Lady Gaga and us all need to try it…” The beautiful Hawaiian Hibiscus flower, Pua Aloalo has long been revered by the Hawaiian people. 

The hibiscus, all colors and varieties, was the official Territorial Flower, adopted in the early 1920s. At statehood in 1959, the first state legislature adopted many of Hawaii’s symbols as part of the Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS, state laws). It wasn’t until 1988, however, that the yellow hibiscus (pua aloalo) which is native to the islands was selected to represent Hawaii.

The most popular way to ingest Hibiscus flowers for their healing properties is through boiling in hot water, making a hibiscus flower tea.

Pua Aloalo tea is known to:

• Control High Blood Pressure
• Lower High Cholesterol
• Strengthen the immune system (rich in vitamin C)

And Oprah’s getting the bash from the National Inquirer from revealing such medicinal wonders of the world to us all? Go Oprah, this is great news.

I must try some when I get to Obama’s home state. Hawaii … looks fantastic already!

Hibiscus is often found in sour tea, red zinger tea, and sorrel tea.
