It’s floral, lightly spiced, and made withTea India’s Kashmiri Kahwa Chai Bags, infused with green tea, cardamom, cinnamon, and saffron. We’re layering in rose and steamed milk for a little comfort, and the result is a cup that feels like a slow exhale.

If you’re new to this blend, Kashmiri Kahwa is a traditional green tea from the Kashmir Valley. This breathtaking region, nestled in the northernmost part of India, is known for its snow-capped mountains, blooming saffron fields, and rich cultural heritage. Kahwa is a staple in Kashmiri homes, especially during chilly winters, where it’s brewed with green tea leaves, cardamom, saffron, cinnamon, and often topped with rose petals or crushed almonds.

This recipe takes that centuries-old tradition and gives it a modern, cozy twist. While most green teas are light and grassy, this one is fragrant, lightly spiced, and warmly floral thanks to the blend of cardamom and rose. And when transformed into a latte with steamed milk, it becomes something entirely new: comforting and creamy yet still grounded in the calming essence of green tea.

Whether you’re easing into a busy week or carving out a few quiet moments for yourself, this cup is an invitation to slow down and sip something truly beautiful.

And withTea India’s Kashmiri Kahwa Chai Bags, the flavor balance is already done for you, with no spice rack or steeping guesswork required. Just steep, simmer, and garnish. A little tradition, a little indulgence, and a whole lot of calm in one simple cup.
