A thousand and one years ago in the time when the creatures of the Himapan Forest still roamed among humans there lived a woman call Isra. One night while she was sleeping Kinnari (half woman, half bird) came to her house and beckoned her to follow. Together they flew through the starlit sky, over moonlit lotus ponds an ancient temples. Finally they entered that Isra had never seen before.
"Take this with you back to the village and plant it in your garden next to the fence. It will give rest to anyone who sees it."
Isra did as Kinnari said the plant grew fast and tall. The flowers were the beautiful blue. One day Isra decided to pluck them and make tea from them and enchanted all her neighbors by adding a squeeze of lime which turned the drink a pinky purple. And that is how we came to have Anchan Tea.
