Seven-color tea

Seven-colour tea or seven-layer tea (Sylheti: ꠢꠣꠔꠞꠋꠉꠤ ꠌꠣ, Bengali: সাত রং চা) is a Bangladeshi beverage comprising layers of different teas.^[1] Tea is made in multiple permutations of concentration, tea leaf variety and adjuncts such as milk, sugar and flavourings and when combined separates according to density.^[2][1] 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.
