For all the tea lovers out there, many of us tend to visit tea cafés, tea lounges or even Nukkad Thadis to try out different types of teas. At the end of a busy day, a perfectly brewed cup is all we desire. Many of wish to stray from the traditional brews to experience a range of perfectly steeped handcrafted teas with enigmatic combinations of flavours which we are otherwise unable to recreate at home. But, what if you could experience whole leaf, flavourful and healthy teas from the comforts of your own home?
We have recently had the opportunity to experience a range of loose and bagged craft teas by DivynTea. Here’s our take on the variety of high quality black, green, white and organic teas curated to match our taste palettes, we tried out.
