Inspired By

Inspired by the traditional Kashmiri Kahwa of the picturesque region of Kashmir, India, our master blenders have created this blend which is deeply intertwined with the rich culture and heritage of the valley.

The origins of this tea can be traced back to several thousand years, likely introduced by traders along the Silk Road. The Persian-style tea infused with spices and saffron is believed to have inspired the creation of Kashmiri Kahwa. Kahwa was initially prepared for its medicinal properties.

Our Kahwa is made the traditional way, which typically includes green tea leaves, saffron strands, cinnamon bark, cardamom pods, clove and almonds. These ingredients were chosen not only for their flavor but also for their health benefits. Today, It is often served to guests as a gesture of hospitality and is an integral part of various ceremonies and celebrations.

Kashmiri Kahwa is not just a tea; it's a cultural treasure that reflects the heritage and flavors of the region.

YOU ASKED WE ANSWERED

How is Kashmiri Kahwa different from regular green tea?

Kashmiri Kahwa distinguishes itself from regular green tea through a captivating blend of nuanced flavors and aromatic complexity.

While both share the foundation of green tea leaves, Kashmiri Kahwa's infusion of cardamom, cinnamon, and cloves creates a warm, spiced symphony that regular green tea doesn't incorporate. The addition of almonds introduces a delightful nuttiness, contributing to the tea's richness. Saffron, the prized spice, imparts a golden hue and a distinctive, slightly floral note, setting Kashmiri Kahwa apart.

The result is a multidimensional and culturally significant beverage, reflecting the intricate tapestry of flavors unique to Kashmiri Kahwa. In contrast, regular green tea tends to offer a simpler, more straightforward taste without the infusion of such elaborate spices and nuts.

How is Kashmiri Kahwa prepared?

1. Start by heating fresh, cold water to a temperature between 194-203°F (90-95°C), allowing the robust flavours to emerge.
2. Utilize approximately 1 teaspoon of loose tea leaves per 6 ounces (180 ml) of water in a teapot or tea infuser, ensuring optimal leaf expansion.
3. Steep the tea for 3 minutes, adjusting based on your desired strength.
4. Strain and enjoy sipping.

Sweeten the infusion with honey or sugar according to taste or optionally, garnish with dried fruits like apricots or cherries.

Does Kashmiri Kahwa contain caffeine?

Yes, Kashmiri Kahwa contains caffeine as it is typically made with green teas.

On average, an 8-ounce cup of green tea contains between 20 to 45 milligrams of caffeine

Is Kashmiri Kahwa served hot or cold?

Kashmiri Kahwa is traditionally served hot, and it is best savored in its warm, aromatic form.

Are there any allergens in this tea?

Yes, Kashmiri Kahwa contains almonds as one of its key ingredients which is a common allergen.

If you have known allergies or sensitivities, it is best to exercise caution and consult with your doctor before you purchase.

Can I have Kashmiri Kahwa with milk?

Traditionally, Kashmiri Kahwa is prepared without milk. The aromatic infusion is to be enjoyed in its pure form.
