Kashmiri Kahwa

Cardamom, Cinnamon, Saffron, Almonds, Green Tea

Cardamom: Aromatic and warming, traditionally used to support digestive comfort and commonly valued for its antioxidant plant compounds.

Cinnamon: Naturally warming and aromatic, containing polyphenolic compounds and traditionally used in preparations associated with metabolic and digestive wellbeing.

Saffron: A prized botanical containing naturally occurring compounds such as crocin and safranal, studied for their antioxidant properties and potential role in mood and general wellbeing.

Almonds: Provide naturally occurring healthy fats, vitamin E, minerals and other nutrients that contribute nutritional depth to the blend.

Green Tea: Naturally contains catechins and other polyphenols, along with caffeine, contributing antioxidant properties and a clean tea character.

Together: These five ingredients combine warming spices, saffron, almonds and green tea into a fragrant blend designed around everyday heart, digestive and metabolic wellbeing.

Heart & Metabolic Wellness

The blend focuses on everyday heart and metabolic wellbeing through a combination of green tea, warming spices, saffron and nutrient-rich almonds. Rather than depending on one ingredient, Kashmiri Kahwa brings together botanicals and food ingredients with complementary properties in a fragrant tea formulation.

• Experience Behind the Blend: Andees brings nearly three decades of experience around tea, sourcing and tasting to the way its newer botanical formulations are developed.

Research has explored several ingredients present in Kashmiri Kahwa for their naturally occurring compounds and potential applications. Green tea is particularly well studied for its catechins and other polyphenols, while cinnamon and saffron have also been investigated for antioxidant and metabolic or general wellness properties. Almonds provide vitamin E, healthy fats and other nutrients. However, research on individual ingredients does not establish Kashmiri Kahwa itself as a treatment for heart disease, diabetes, weight loss or any other medical condition.

The Herbal Elixir range brings Andees’ understanding of blending into a collection of botanical and tea infusions centred on specific areas of everyday wellbeing. Ingredients are selected for their traditional use and natural character, then brought together in proportions considered by tea taster and blender Parit Bhargava for health, aroma and taste. Kashmiri Kahwa brings that approach to a warm and aromatic combination of cardamom, cinnamon, saffron, almonds and green tea, creating a fragrant blend with a distinctive spiced and nutty character.
