Drinking hibiscus tea as part of your diet along with life style modification could be effective with early stage high blood pressure. This studies states it reduces free radicals and improves lipid profile. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6621350/

Green tea may improve blood vessel function, lower blood pressure, and reduce stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular diseases by 10%. But know that controlling blood pressure is a lifestyle issue— just drinking green tea alone is not the sole solution. Poor diet, overweight, lack of exercise, constant stress, too much alcohol, and smoking are all factors that contribute to high blood pressure if it is not caused by kidney disease. Cardiovascular disease contributes to high blood pressure. You have to look at your entire lifestyle.
