Rose Pistachio Pink Tea Cooler made with Param Kesar® Kashmiri saffron

A floral, refreshing iced pink tea cooler with rosewater and pistachio. A modern twist on traditional Kashmiri Noon Chai.

In the heart of Kashmir, the day begins and ends with chai. Not just any chai, but Noon Chai—a soul-warming, savory pink tea that is as much a ritual as it is a beverage. It is a cup of connection, brewed with patience and care, its unique color a testament to a beautiful culinary alchemy. This tradition, passed down through generations, speaks of slow moments, of shared warmth against the backdrop of snow-dusted mountains. While we treasure the classic preparation, we also believe in carrying heritage into the present moment. This Rose Pistachio Pink Tea Cooler is our ode to that spirit. It takes the beloved, soulful essence of Noon Chai and reimagines it for sun-drenched afternoons and quiet moments of personal luxury. The floral sigh of rosewater and the gentle crunch of pistachio nuttiness don’t mask the singular character of the pink tea; they elevate it, creating a sensorial experience that is at once familiar and thrillingly new.
