Aarafh Premium Kashmiri Shahi Qawah Tea – Mishry Review

1. Ingredients 

Green tea, green cardamom, ginger, saffron, and sugar are the primary ingredients used in the Aarafh Kashmiri Shahi Qawah.

2. Taste

 Kehwa is typically made using whole spices like cinnamon, cardamom and saffron. This is mostly consumed during the colder days as the spices warm the body internally. This fragrant green tea preparation is generally light on the palate and perfect as a post-dinner beverage.

For our review, we mixed this instant tea powder in a cup of boiling hot water. What we tasted was sweetened water with an extremely mild qawah taste. The Aarafh Kashmiri Shahi Qawah lacked the green tea taste too.

3. Flavor

The authentic Qawah flavor from the Aarafh Kashmiri Shahi Qawah was minimal. 

What we could majorly taste was a diluted and an overly sweet Qawah. In addition to this, we also noticed mild flavors of green cardamom and cinnamon. The saffron flavor too was barely there!

4. Aroma

Just like taste and flavors, the aroma of the Aarafh Kashmiri Shahi Qawah was mild and sweet-smelling. 

5. Refreshing Factor

A warm cup of green tea is light on the tummy and palate. Additionally, owing to its mild taste, green tea can also be consumed after a carbohydrate-rich meal.

The Aarafh Kashmiri Shahi Qawah however, is too sweet. It does not taste like green tea, hence the refreshing factor derived from this tea mix is negligible. 

6. Price

We ordered the 250 gm jar from Amazon. The 250 gm jar Aarafh Kashmiri Shahi Qawah Tea Price is INR 260. 

7. Nutritional Facts

Following is the nutritional value per 100 gm of Aarafh Kashmiri Shahi Qawah tea-

399 calories, 92 grams of carbohydrates (out of which 89 grams is sugar), 1 gram of protein. 

8. Availability

Aarafh Kashmiri Shahi Qawah tea can be availed on e-commerce websites like Amazon. You would also find this instant tea mix at hypermarkets/ departmental stores. 

Aarafh Kashmiri Shahi Qawah tea is available in jars of 250 and 600 gm. You can also avail the 5 gm sachets of the same. 

The Aarafh Kashmiri Shahi Qawah is an instant tea mix that comes in the form of powder. This smooth-textured powder is white in color and had a few lumps in its dry stage.

That being said, when we added the recommended quantity (1 tsp of Aarafh Kashmiri Shahi Qawah to 200 ml of boiling water) it effortlessly dissolved without forming any lumps. 

Once mixed, our beverage had a saffron-yellow which was unlike traditional Qawah. We also noticed how the saffron strands had set to the bottom of the cup. 

Qawah is often referred to Kashmiri Qawah due to the ingredients that go in the making and the climatic conditions of the region. Saffron and whole spices that are also used in the Kashmiri cuisine are warm in nature. To keep the body warm from within, these spices are brewed with green tea in a samovar.

Summing Up Aarafh Kashmiri Shahi Qawah

There you have it- Team Mishry’s Aarafh Kashmiri Shahi Qawah tea review.

This tea mix makes for a convenient option which is also low in caffeine. However, the sweetness levels were a little too much for us. This instant Qawah tea mix blends seamlessly in water and also gives mild Qawah flavors.
