History

Noon Chai (Beverage) in Kashmiri tradition

This pink tea is the daily morning and afternoon beverage for almost every Kashmiri. Its unique color comes from the chemical reaction of tea leaves with baking soda under prolonged boiling.

Tourist Tip

It is salty, not sweet! Try it with local baked breads like Girda or Bakerkhani.
