Seven-colour tea or seven-layer tea (Bengali: সাত রং চা) is a Bangladeshi beverage made with an unknown recipe. The Seven-layer tea was invented by Romesh Ram Gour after discovering that different tea leaves have different densities. Each layer contrasts in colour and taste, ranging from syrupy sweet to spicy clove. The result is an alternating dark/light band pattern throughout the drink, giving the tea its name. The original seven-colour tea is mainly available in the Nilkantha Tea Cabin, a tea shop in Srimongol, Moulvibazar, with other variants existing throughout different parts of Bangladesh.
History
