Horticulture farm at Chengalpattu begins production of herbal tea

Soon, you will be able to drink herbal tea, called Idhazh, brewed with hibiscus flowers grown at the State horticulture farm at Athur in Chengalpattu district. The farm has only recently begun production of the tea on a small scale.

Blending sun-dried organic native hibiscus petals with herbs, including dry ginger and pepper, the workers at the farm are packing tea in small packets that will be sold at tea shops and Tanhoda outlets, said an official source.
