This herbal tea is a replacement for the traditional Indian tea made using milk and tea leaves.
It helps get rid off tea addiction. It is made using a blend of herbs and natural flavors, without
milk and tea leaves. You can use any fresh herb to make this tea – rosemary, curry leaves,
tulsi, rose. We personally like lemongrass the most
