A note from the founder
It started in my mother's garden.
মায়ের যত্নের বাগান থেকে, আপনার কাপে।
Every morning the aparajita vines in my mother's garden were full of blue. We picked them by hand before the sun got hot, dried them slowly, and drank them as tea at home.
Velora is simply that, shared with you: real flowers, nothing added, made in small batches. If a cup ever doesn't feel special, message me. I read every one.
From a customer
Velora-র অপরাজিতা ফুলের চা খেয়ে সত্যিই মুগ্ধ হয়েছি 💙 গরম পানিতে দিতেই সুন্দর নীল রং, লেবু দিলে বেগুনি। কোনো রং মেশানো নেই, পুরোপুরি প্রাকৃতিক। স্বাদ হালকা আর মনটা সতেজ করে দেয়। ফুলগুলো খুব যত্ন করে শুকানো, প্যাকেট খুললেই বোঝা যায়। প্রাকৃতিক ভেষজ চা যারা পছন্দ করেন, তাদের জন্য Velora-কে মন থেকে রেকমেন্ড করছি 🌸
