Turmeric Rose Jasmine Green Tea (Skin Care Tea) - Freshville - 100 g

This Freshville green tea, sold as Skin Care Green Tea, is a loose blend of green tea with turmeric, cumin, lavender, rose petals, jasmine and moringa. Turmeric (haldi) and cumin (jeera) are everyday Indian spices that give the cup a warm, earthy note. Rose petals, jasmine and lavender add a floral aroma, the kind familiar from gulab sherbet and jasmine tea. Moringa leaves come from the drumstick tree, whose pods are cooked in sambar and curries. Green tea forms the light, grassy base and is usually drunk without milk. To make a cup, add about one teaspoon of the blend to a cup of hot water that has cooled for a minute after boiling, cover and steep for two to three minutes, then strain. Steeping too long can make it bitter. Drink it warm, with a little honey if you like. Keep the tin tightly closed in a cool, dry place. This tea is sold by Freshokit India Pvt Ltd. Available in a 100 g tin, about a one-month pack.
