How to Choose the Right Kashmiri Kehwa
Selecting your perfect Kehwa blend is easy once you consider your needs and preferences. Here are some tips to help you decide:
1. Dietary Preferences: If you’re watching your sugar intake or managing diabetes, opt for the Sugar Free variants. Both Kashmiri Kesar Kehwa (Sugar Free) and Kehwa Sugar Free Powder deliver sweetness through natural spices and saffron without any added sugar – a diabetic-friendly choice. These blends are 100% natural and free from artificial sweeteners, so you can enjoy guilt-free.
2. Convenience vs. Tradition: For on-the-go ease, the Instant Mix is your best bet. It dissolves quickly in hot water, offering authentic flavor in seconds – great for busy mornings or travel. If you love a traditional brewing experience, the Sugar Free Powder is ideal. It lets you simmer the Kehwa with water on the stove, filling your kitchen with a rich aroma, and you can adjust strength to taste.
3. Flavor & Strength: All our Kehwa blends contain premium Kashmiri saffron and spices, but there are subtle differences. The Instant Mix is finely ground for quick infusion, giving a smooth, mild cup. The loose powder may yield a slightly bolder flavor as you steep the whole spices longer. Consider how strong and spicy you like your tea – for a lighter, mellow cup go with Instant, and for a robust, spicier cup choose the loose blend.
4. Wellness Benefits: If your goal is wellness and relaxation, rest assured every option is packed with benefits. Kashmiri Kehwa is known to enhance metabolism and aid weight management. All three blends are rich in antioxidants (thanks to green tea and saffron) which help fight stress and support immunity. None of our Kehwa products contain caffeine-heavy black tea; they use light green tea and herbs, making them gentler than a typical chai. You can sip these in the evening without jitters – in fact, many find Kehwa’s calming effect perfect for unwinding.
5. Ingredients & Quality: We take pride in our ingredients. Look for the GI-Tagged Kashmiri saffron on our labels – it’s a mark of authenticity recognized by the Indian government. Premium saffron gives Kehwa its signature golden color and mood-lifting aroma. All spices used (cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, ginger) are of gourmet quality, chosen for maximum potency and freshness. Each blend is handcrafted in small batches using traditional methods (stone mortar grinding) to preserve aroma and nutrients. Plus, our products are FSSAI certified for food safety and packaged in eco-friendly, resealable packs to maintain freshness and respect the environment.
Tip: You can enhance any cup of Kehwa by garnishing with extra almonds or a drizzle of honey as per your taste. For an extra boost of aroma, consider adding a pinch of our pure Kashmiri Saffron to your brew – our saffron strands are GI-tagged and Grade A quality, guaranteed to elevate your Kehwa experience.

FAQs
What are the main ingredients in Kashmiri Kehwa?
Kashmiri Kehwa is made from green tea leaves mixed with a blend of spices and nuts. The signature ingredients include saffron (Kesar), green cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and often crushed almonds or walnuts. These natural ingredients give Kehwa its golden color, inviting aroma, and health benefits. All our Kehwa products use 100% natural ingredients with no artificial flavors.
How do I prepare the Kehwa, and do I need any special equipment?
It’s very easy! For the Instant Mix, simply add a heaping spoonful (or one sachet) to a cup of hot water and stir – your Kehwa is ready in seconds. For the Sugar Free Powder (loose blend), we recommend traditional brewing: boil water and add 1–2 teaspoons of the Kehwa powder, letting it simmer for a few minutes so the saffron and spices release their flavors. Then strain into cups. You don’t need a samovar (the traditional kettle) – a regular saucepan or kettle works fine. Optionally, add a teaspoon of honey or a few crushed almonds on top. Enjoy it hot for the best taste.
Is Kashmiri Kehwa caffeine-free? Can I drink it at night?
Kehwa does contain green tea, so it has a modest amount of caffeine (much less than a typical black tea or coffee). However, it’s quite mild and also packed with calming ingredients like cardamom and cinnamon. Many people do enjoy it in the evening as it helps with digestion and relaxation. If you’re sensitive to caffeine, start with a small cup to see how you feel – most find that Kehwa’s relaxing herbs balance out the minimal caffeine. And since our blends are sugar-free, you won’t get a late-night sugar rush either. It’s a warming, soothing drink for any time of day.
Are your Kehwa products authentic and sourced from Kashmir?
Absolutely. We take authenticity seriously. The saffron in our blends is GI-tagged Kashmiri saffron – this means it’s certified to come from the Kashmir region, renowned for the world’s best saffron. We work directly with farmers and artisans in Kashmir to source our saffron and traditional spice mix. The recipes are based on age-old Kashmiri formulations (nothing artificial added). Even the green tea leaves are high-grade and often smoked in the Kashmiri style for that extra aroma. When you buy our Kehwa, you are getting the real taste of Kashmir, prepared and packed with the region’s rich heritage in mind.
Can I add sugar or sweetener to the Kehwa?
You certainly can adjust sweetness to your liking. Traditionally, Kehwa can be sweetened with a bit of sugar or honey. Our Sugar Free Kehwa products contain no added sugar or sweeteners by default, which allows you to enjoy the natural slight sweetness of saffron and cinnamon. If you prefer it sweeter, feel free to stir in a teaspoon of honey or your sweetener of choice – it won’t mask the saffron fragrance. In fact, many aficionados recommend Kashmiri honey as a complement to Kehwa for an authentic experience. On the other hand, if you’re enjoying the instant mix which might already have a touch of natural cane sugar (check the label), you may find it perfectly balanced without any additions. It’s all about personal taste!
