Tanner's Cassia Flower Tea is made from dried tanner's cassia flowers, Senna auriculata, known as Avarampoo in Tamil. The small flowers are golden yellow and brew into a golden cup with a mild, slightly bitter taste. 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. The flowers are sun-dried, and in Ayurveda the shrub is known as Avartaki. It is a tea to enjoy, and we do not claim that it treats any health condition.
