Crushed green pistachios — adding vibrant colour, nutty sweetness, and premium nutrition to our Shahi Kesar Chai.
In Our Chai
Pistachio chai (pista chai) pairs crushed green pistachios with saffron and almonds for a luxurious shahi-style chai.
The vivid green of crushed pistachios in our Shahi Kesar Chai isn’t just for show — these are real pistachio pieces that add a distinctive sweet, nutty flavour and creamy mouthfeel. Combined with saffron and almonds, they create the classic “shahi” (royal) trinity found in India’s most luxurious desserts and beverages.
Pistachios are one of the oldest nuts consumed by humans — archaeological evidence shows they were a common food as early as 7,000 BC in what is now Turkey.
Pistachios are one of only two nuts mentioned in the Bible (Genesis 43:11). The Queen of Sheba reportedly demanded the entire Assyrian pistachio harvest be reserved for her personal use.
