The tradition
Kahwa is a green tea brewed slowly with saffron, cardamom, cinnamon, rose petals and slivers of almond. It travelled to Kashmir from Central Asia along the Silk Route and became one of the valley's most enduring traditions.
For generations it has been offered to guests as a gesture of welcome — poured at family gatherings, celebrations and long winter conversations that stretch later than intended.
The craft
The papier mâché boxes that accompany the set are part of a Kashmiri craft tradition introduced to the valley by Persian artisans in the fifteenth century. Over centuries, local makers transformed it into a distinctly Kashmiri art form known for its intricate hand-painted decoration.
Every box is painted by hand. No two are exactly alike.
