The Chayi’s latest addition to its exquisite collection of teas after Chamomile and Jasmine Tea is Hibiscus Green Tea. Laden with carefully handpicked whole tea leaves from the gardens of Assam and blended with the dried hibiscus flower and its leaf, this is a perfect blend that lets you indulge in a gustatory delight.
The Hibiscus flower, known in Assamese as ‘জৱা ফুল’ (Zaba Phool), throngs a lot many gardens in Assam for its explicitly gorgeous, ornamental flowers. The “Ronga Zaba” or the red hibiscus is the most popular variety and possesses many medicinal potentials. Since childhood, I have heard of tales of the ‘ronga zaba’ doing wonders for hair growth. Its benefits are now well known and the flower has made its way into the global market as a much-relished tisane. Not only is it popular for its revitalizing effects, but daily consumption of hibiscus green tea can lead to lower risks of cardiovascular diseases and may aid in weight loss.
Hibiscus green tea has made its way into The Chayi’s inventory, opening the portal for the people of Assam to have a taste of this exquisite variety. The reddish-pink infusion with its vibrant shade, rejuvenating taste and medium caffeine content is an easy-to-prepare mix. A teaspoon of this blend seeped into hot water for about two minutes is all it takes to set you up for this fix. It can be had in the morning or even in the evening, and especially in the sultry summer days it is an excellent replacement for coffee or black tea. Black Tea, will without doubt, be Assam’s forte. But a slight digression in taste and flavour is on occasions, most welcome. Is it not? The tart taste of Hibiscus is sure to tease your taste buds making you relish its tweaky taste with every sip. So why wait? Go give this new tisane a try!
