No. Our organic tea is made with only natural unprocessed dried fruits, herbs and flowers. The generic tea bag containing chamomile tea or red rooibos tea is usually of lower quality as the leftovers from tea production are combined in the tea bag. So, when you steep a bag of chamomile, it releases a plethora of tannins which create a harsh tasting flavor. Thus leaving the tea - dull, stale and lacking an aroma. Nilufer chooses to produce natural tea and utilises only whole loose ingredients which are packed with antioxidants and gives Nilufer’s different types of tea the label of healthy tea.
