Nilkantha Tea Cabin
নীলকন্ঠ টি কেবিন
The small tea stall that invented the seven-layer rainbow tea. Each cup has distinct colors and flavors in separate layers, making it a must-try in Sreemangal.
Nilkantha Tea Cabin was founded by local man Romesh Ram Gour. He blends different teas, condensed milk, spices and syrups according to their density, creating the 'seven-layer tea', with colors running from pale to dark. The tea now has ten layers or more, and the recipe is kept secret. The cabin sits in Ramnagar, the Manipuri community southeast of the town center. The shop is plain, and a later branch has opened next door. Visitors often queue. The seven-layer tea is inexpensive, and regular milk tea and snacks are also available. For the best experience, taste it layer by layer with a spoon. A tuk-tuk ride from the town center takes about 10 minutes.
