What's inside
Ten herbs. Nothing hidden.
Sonth. Sun-dried, with a heat that builds slowly and stays.
Earthy, and gives the cup its golden colour.
Dalchini. Sweet-warm, and gives the cup its body.
Bright and citrusy.
Elaichi. A fresh, floral lift.
Kali mirch. A sharp, bright heat at the back of the throat.
Dried. Zesty and bright.
Laung. Small in amount, big in aroma.
A slow, sweet heat that lingers.
How to brew
The kahwa way
Kahwa is simmered, not just steeped. A short boil draws the roots and bark out before the leaves have their turn.
- Boil one cup of water About 200 ml in a small pan.
- Add a level teaspoon Stir it in and let it simmer for 1–2 minutes.
- Cover and rest Turn off the flame, cover the pan and let it steep for 2–3 minutes.
- Strain and sip warm Add honey only once the cup is warm, not hot. The texts never heat honey.
Who it suits
For slow, heavy mornings

When to drink it
First thing in the morning, or after a heavy meal. One or two cups a day.
Best season
Vasanta and Shishira: spring, when Kapha melts, and the deep winter months when it gathers.
How it tastes
Spicy and warm up front, with a citrus lift and a slow, lingering heat.
Go gently if
you run hot or it is high summer. This is a heating blend. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or on regular medication, ask your doctor first.

Questions
Questions, answered plainly
What does Kapha Balance mean?
Kapha is the Ayurvedic quality of earth and water, which the texts link with damp, heavy, slow weather. This blend is light, spicy and bright, the kind of cup Ayurveda reaches for in that weather. It is a kitchen blend, not a treatment.
Does it have caffeine?
No. There is no tea leaf in it, only herbs and spices, so you can drink it in the evening.
How many cups a day?
One or two. It is a warming blend, so in the hot months keep to one cup, or switch to a cooler blend.
Can children drink it?
For children over five, make it weaker: half a teaspoon in a cup of water, and let it cool to warm. For younger children, or a child who is unwell, ask your doctor first.
Can I drink it if I'm pregnant or on medication?
Please ask your doctor first. Pippali and dry ginger are herbs the texts and doctors both ask pregnant women to take with care, and any herb can interact with a medicine you take every day.
