Hyderabad: For many, evening tea is a fixed part of the day. But more people are now replacing regular chai or black tea with herbal infusions, especially at night when they want something lighter.
Unlike normal tea, most herbal infusions don’t contain caffeine, which is why they’re often picked for evening routines. The shift is also about variety and simple everyday benefits people feel from different herbs.
Chamomile tea is commonly taken before bed since it helps people relax and wind down. Peppermint tea is often used after meals, especially when there’s a feeling of heaviness or bloating. Ginger tea is another common choice, known for its warming effect and support for digestion.
Lemongrass tea has a light citrus flavour and is often had when people want something refreshing and calming at the same time. Hibiscus tea, with its deep red colour and slightly tangy taste, is usually taken cold or warm and is linked with hydration and general heart health support in daily routines.
More households are slowly making space for these options alongside or instead of regular evening tea.
