Famous Five Layer Tea

There are two brothers the Finlay's Tea Estate, Sylhet, Bangladesh. They have invented a new way to make a brew of Five Layer Color that is for the entertainment of tourists who are exulted when take this tea. These two brothers have never told any one their secret. It is served in a glass and the brew is genuinely five different in five layers. All layered perfectly on top of each other, with no mixing, steaming away with a smell. Each color has a different flavor, so the first hit is cinnamon, then sort of creamy milky, then ginger, then lemon, then honey. No layer mixes. If you took a big a sip, the flavors mixed together to create another brilliant sensation in your mouth. One can realize its full glory of presentation and flavor.

Each bungalows are approximately less than 100m away from each other and have lots of space, garden and walk way around them. This is a world peace place and wonder place to visit in Bangladesh.

The foods are good but price way too high. They have a good range of western, Bengali and even vegetarian dishes. The foods are only served in their dinning hall and not allowed to take away in bungalow.

It is a large area and you can walk for hours inside it. You can enjoy the view of small mountains and tea gardens all around too. You can ask them to arrange born fire at night at a small amount of charge. We had lots of fun out there and did bonfire every day night with music & chilled beer. It is a great place for peace.
