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.
Romesh Ram Gour, the operator of a tea shop in Srimongol, Moulvibazar, claims to have devised the drink.[3] It has been widely imitated throughout Bangladesh, with varying numbers of layers.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
