Romesh Ram Gour's Seven-Layer Tea Boosts Tourism in Sreemangal, Bangladesh

Romesh Ram Gour, residing in Sreemangal, Bangladesh, invented the seven-layer colored tea in 2002, gaining national and international recognition. Each layer offers a distinct flavor and remains separate for about six hours. His creation transformed the previously remote Manipuri Para area into a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from 112 countries and boosting local markets. Despite lucrative offers, Gour has declined to sell the recipe or patent, intending to keep it proprietary during his lifetime.
