Aparajita Tea Recipe
We love this Aparajita Tea Recipe because of its beautiful natural blue colour and gentle taste. The tea feels calming and refreshing at the same time. A splash of lemon creates a magical colour change that makes it even more enjoyable to serve. It is light on the stomach and comforting after a long day.
