What's inside
13 herbs. Nothing hidden.
Sun-dried ginger. Its heat builds slowly and stays.
Naturally sweet. It rounds the pepper so the cup needs little or no sugar.
A sharp, bright heat at the back of the throat.
Sweet-warm, and gives the cup its body.
Small in amount, big in aroma.
Long pepper. Hotter and sweeter than black pepper.
Earthy, and gives the cup its golden colour.
Sweet and cooling. It balances the hot spices.
A fresh, floral lift.
Thyme-like and sharp. A pinch goes a long way.
Indian bay leaf. Adds a soft, clove-cinnamon background.
Mint. It brightens the finish.
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 cold mornings and early dark evenings
A warming, peppery kahwa for anyone who reaches for kadha the moment the weather turns. Strong enough to taste, gentle enough for every day.
When to drink it
First thing in the morning, or in the early evening. One or two cups a day.
Best season
Hemanta and Shishira, the cold months from mid-November to mid-March, when Kapha gathers and warmth is most welcome.
How it tastes
Peppery and warm up front, then sweet from mulethi and fennel, with a minty finish.
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
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 I add milk?
You can, the way kadha is sometimes made with milk. Simmer the kahwa in water first, then add a little hot milk and bring it back to the boil once. Most people prefer it plain, with honey.
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. Mulethi, 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.
