Description

For the people who are not aware, Kashmiri Tea is also known as Noon Chai and it is a beverage that has been around for hundreds of centuries. It is widely believed that it was created exclusively for the kings and royal people, symbolizing royalty and a higher hierarchy of family in society.

You may believe that it will be quite similar to your usual black and green tea? No.

More than the taste, Kashmiri Tea stand outs for its preparation ritual. If you are in a hurry, you won’t derive the taste of it. It’s the kind of tea that demands time and care.  You have to let it boiled, simmered, and brewed until the colour turns right and the smell becomes aromatic.

Kashmiri Tea has a connotation of warm gesture.

The light saltiness mixed with creamy milk and nuts is not something you find in your everyday teas. Be assured that once you get used to it, it becomes addictive in the best way possible. Every sip feels like a pot of pleasure which melts in your mouth.

Tradition Meets Modern Taste

Thankfully, we are living in times of modern trade where Kashmiri Tea is not limited to just few cities. You’ll find it now in cafés, restaurants, and even home kitchens across all major countries in the world. There is something about its earthy flavour that people love it and it is quite different from the usual teas. Some cafés even give it a twist by adding rose petals or saffron to make it more fragrant and fancier.

Even though it’s now popular everywhere, the best taste still comes from a Kashmiri kitchen. The key is the balance of the ingredients which the locals know it well. It should not be too salty, not too milky. The right blend yields the best flavour. It’s a tea that carries emotion. You don’t just drink it, you experience your well-being as it allows your mind to relax.

The Taste of Simplicity and Soul

The purpose of tea is to make you feel connected with nature. Kashmiri Tea is not about fancy cups or perfect presentation. It may not fancy and trendy like the other teas but it has its own place in beverages.

Kashmiri Tea is a beautiful reminder that simplicity will always be cherished by the people. Someone has rightly said that its not just a drink but a gentle pause in the day for you to turn inward.
