Translated from Sanskrit, Maharani means Queen. We think this gorgeous, naturally sweet, delicately spicy green tea from the home of the current Dalai Lama in Dharamshala, lives up to her regal name. The stylish green leaves produce a fresh, fragrant aroma and a smooth liquor. We like sipping this tea as is, or with the addition of a dash of lemon juice or honey. Remember: never use boiling water or milk with green tea as they will ruin the flavor. Let the water cool down a bit after it comes to a boil. Enjoy hot or iced.
