Nine herbs. Nothing hidden.

Dalchini. Sweet-warm, and gives the cup its body.
Naturally sweet, so the cup needs little or no sugar.
Warm, aromatic and a little sharp.
Dried petals. Soft and floral.
Elaichi. A fresh, floral lift.
Laung. Small in amount, big in aroma.
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 wet, windy days
A soft, warming kahwa for the days you want something sweet and steady in the cup. Gentle enough for every day.
When to drink it

Questions
Questions, answered plainly
What does Vata Balance mean?
Vata is the Ayurvedic quality of air and movement, which the texts link with dry, windy, unsettled weather. This blend is warm, sweet and soft, 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.
Can I add milk?
You can. 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?
This blend has ashwagandha in it, so it is meant for grown-ups. For a child, please ask your doctor first.
Can I drink it if I'm pregnant or on medication?
Not in pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Ashwagandha is usually avoided then. On regular medication, please ask your doctor first, as any herb can interact with a medicine you take every day.
