Rosa de Jamaica: common questions
What is Rosa de Jamaica?
Hibiscus iced tea, served sweet. It is listed in the TasteBridge Guatemala guide as a drink.
How much does Rosa de Jamaica cost in Guatemala?
Expect the budget band: usually under US$8. Prices move with the city and the venue, so treat this as a planning figure rather than a fixed menu price.
Is Rosa de Jamaica vegetarian?
Rosa de Jamaica is not tagged vegetarian in our data, because the tag is aimed at dishes rather than drinks. A plain black coffee, tea or fruit drink usually contains nothing animal-based, but milk, cream, honey, egg white or a pre-mixed powder can change that, so ask what goes in the cup.
Where can I try Rosa de Jamaica?
Our index lists it across Guatemala, so it is not tied to one address. Ask locally which version is served at breakfast, lunch or late evening, because the same name can cover different presentations.
