ENJOY VIDEO PRESENTATION ON INDIA TEA
India is the second largest producer of tea in the world with its famous Assam tea and Darjeeling tea.
The cultivation and brewing of tea in India has a long history of applications in traditional systems of medicine and for consumption. The practice of Ayurveda has resulted in a long-standing tradition of herbal teas.
Traditional Indian kitchens have long utilised the medicinal benefits offered by various plants and spices such asbasil (Tulsi), cardamom (Elaichi), pepper (Kali Mirch), liquorice (Mulethi), mint(Pudina), etc., and traditionally, teas made with these plant leaves and/or spices have been in use for centuries for maladies ranging from the serious to the trifling. Tea is also mixed with these traditional herbs. The taste of chai (sweet and milky) helps disguise the stronger and more bitter flavours of some of the medicinal additives, while other, more pleasant flavours such as cardamom and ginger add a pleasing flavour and aroma to the tea along with health benefits.
