Origin of Kashmiri Kahwa
The documentary history did not record the birth of Kahav. An old generation of Kashmiris has it in her heart that Kahwa tea is brought through the famous Silk Road. Nonetheless, the majority of the people in the region state that Kahwa was invented by the people from Yarkanda Valley now in China during the first and second-century Kushan Empire. From Wikipedia, it can be known that the word Kahwah in Kashmiri means sweetened tea. We subscribed to the Yarkand Valley Tea Principle because for more than 500 years tea has been brewed in China and green tea is the most popular.
Kahwa is well known in the states of Kashmir, Afghanistan, Central Asia, Iran, and the Middle East. Today it occupies its proper place in every region and every place has its recipe or edition as some of them add dried fruits like pistachios, apricots, pine nuts, dried cherries, etc. Unlike others who prefer to keep walnuts, dates, and even cashew nuts, she was hot.
