Rhododendron Green Tea — A Unique Himalayan Floral Blend
Saakya Rhododendron Green Tea is a uniquely beautiful blend — premium Darjeeling green tea leaves infused with the delicate floral sweetness of rhododendron flowers, known locally as Buransh, handpicked from the slopes of the Eastern Himalayas. The rhododendron is the national flower of Nepal and the state tree of Uttarakhand — a sacred and iconic flower of the Himalayan region that blooms in vivid crimson and pink on the hillsides between March and May each year. This rhododendron green tea captures the essence of the Himalayas in every cup — light, floral, refreshing and deeply nourishing. Handcrafted by Sanjay Bajla — Kalimpong’s certified tea sommelier and founder of boutique An Orange Leaf.
The Buransh Rhododendron — A Sacred Himalayan Ingredient
Rhododendron flowers — known locally as Buransh — have been used for centuries in traditional Himalayan medicine for their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and liver-protective properties. In Uttarakhand, Buransh juice is a celebrated traditional wellness drink known for its deeply nourishing and restorative qualities — enjoyed seasonally by mountain communities who have understood its benefits for generations.
Our rhododendron green tea captures these same time-tested healing properties in a refined, daily-drinkable form — combining the antioxidant richness of Buransh with the smooth grassy notes of premium Darjeeling green tea for a blend that is as nourishing as it is beautiful.

How to Enjoy Your Rhododendron Green Tea
Hot — Classic: Brew without milk and serve plain or with a touch of honey to bring out the natural floral sweetness of the Buransh flowers. The delicate flavour is best appreciated clean — without the addition of milk or sugar.
Hot — With Honey and Lemon: Add a teaspoon of raw honey and a squeeze of lemon to your brewed cup. The citrus lifts the floral notes beautifully, creating a bright and deeply refreshing drink.
Iced Floral Tea: Brew double strength, let cool and pour over ice with a sprig of fresh mint. A stunning and refreshing iced tea that showcases the natural floral character of the Buransh flowers.
Morning Wellness Ritual: Start your day with a cup of rhododendron green tea before breakfast — its gentle caffeine, antioxidant richness and calming properties set a grounded, clear tone for the day ahead.
