Couldn't load pickup availability
Neem Flower Tea is made from dried neem flowers, Azadirachta indica, called neem phool in Hindi. The small flowers brew into a light golden cup with a mild, lightly bitter taste, much gentler than neem leaf. Serve it hot on a cold evening, or chilled over ice in summer.
This is a simple, single-ingredient herbal tea with no caffeine, so it makes an easy warm drink for the evening. Neem flowers are also used in traditional festival foods such as Ugadi pachadi, and in Ayurveda the tree is known as Nimba. It is a tea to enjoy, and we do not claim that it treats any health condition.
