The tea party is something about regular tea and snacks but here I attended a special tea party which does not have any "Tea" which we have as a regular tea rather there was a variety of amazing herbal and healthy tea.

Generally, when it comes to switching from regular tea we like to have green tea, which is a type of unprocessed tea leaf with caffeine and those who love to have tea with milk, switch to dairy-free tea like black or lemon tea. But here in this tea party scene was completely different. We got a chance to try different herbal tea made of various seasonal flowers and plant leaves. I never knew that a refreshing hot drink could be made with mango flowers.

_{*Mango flowers on the left*} Making Mango Blossom tea also a very easy task. Just have to pick the flowers, clean them to ensure that there are no insects or mosquitos and merge them in boiling water for a couple of minutes and filter it. Add lemon juice, sweetener and salt as per taste.

_{*Making of Mango Blossom Tea*} One more interesting herbal tea was Rosella Flower Tea. This red colour Rosella Flower is known as Ambadi (अम्बाडी ) in the local language and has some sour taste which gives its tea a distinct sour flavour. It can be made cold as well as warm. It is added with a little salt sweetener to make it a pleasant refreshing drink.

_{*I, enjoying the Rosella Flower Tea.*} Other than these teas there were also - - Palash flower tea known as "Flame of the forest" in english. - Bottlebrush leaves tea - Adusa leaves tea (Justicia adhatoda) also known as Vasaka - Moringa Lemon Grass tea - Hibiscus flower (China rose or Gudhal) tea and many more....

_{*Some prepared tea and spices to enhance the flavour of tea.*}

_{*Adusa leaves on the left, Rosella tea mix (red powder) and other herbs.*} Overall this tea party was something different and, gave us exposure to various herbs which can be healthy alternatives to tea/coffee. ___ ### Have you tried any such herbal tea? Which one is your favourite? ___
