7 Traditional Indian Teas You Must Try
Darjeeling Delight
Known as the "Champagne of Teas", it has a unique muscatel flavour and light colour. Grown in the Himalayas, its taste varies with each harvest (flush).
Assam`s Bold Brew
This robust, malty black tea hails from the Brahmaputra plains. It`s prized for its strong body and bright colour and is often a key part of breakfast blends.
Nilgiri`s Fragrant Cup
From the Blue Mountains of South India, this tea is intensely aromatic, brisk, and flavourful. It remains clear when iced, making it exceptionally refreshing.
Kangra`s Gentle Charm
Grown in Himachal Pradesh, this tea, especially the green variety, offers a subtle, slightly sweet, and woody aroma, distinct from other mountain teas.
Kashmiri Kahwa Warmth
A traditional green tea from Kashmir, infused with saffron, cardamom, cinnamon, and often almonds. It`s a fragrant, warming, and mildly spiced delight.
Noon Chai`s Pink Hue
Also from Kashmir, this unique pink, salty tea is made with green tea leaves, milk, and baking soda. It has a creamy texture and a savoury, buttery taste.
Ladakhi Butter Tea
Called `Gur Gur Chai`, this energy-boosting Ladakhi staple is made with tea leaves, yak butter, and salt. It`s a rich, creamy, and warming brew.
