Recently she decided to give a shout out to lopchu, a variant of tea that is grown in Darjeeling. It is a kind of a black tea that comes in many flavours nowadays.

Mira prepared her lopchu tea without milk. The hot brew is said to be very beneficial for health. The tea leaves are loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties that help rev up immunity. The tea, if consumed in right amount, may also lead to good digestion and detox. If taken without sugar, it could serve as a nice low-cal drink that you could add to your diet.
