चाय — a pack of tea from Moms Tree, whose listing records it as coming from Nainital, at about 1,400 metres in the Kumaon hills.
In hill homes tea is boiled strong with milk and sugar, often with a crushed piece of ginger or a pinch of chai masala, and served with a handful of chyuda or a rotana on the side. It is the first thing offered to anyone who walks through the door.
The listing does not name the kind of leaf or the weight of the pack, so check the label or message the shop before ordering if either matters to you. Keep the leaf in an airtight tin, away from spices and damp, since tea takes on smells easily.
Yes. Moms Tree takes cash on delivery, so nothing is paid up front and nothing is charged until the parcel is in your hands.
Arrives by Mon, 16 Nov for most addresses. It is packed and sent by Moms Tree in kamola — not from a warehouse — so it leaves the hills the same week you order it.

Buransh sharbat is lightly floral and tart, with a clear deep red colour. Malta and galgal squashes are bright and citrusy, galgal noticeably sour, and hill apple juice is mild and sweet.
Most bottles are concentrates, mixed with several parts of chilled water or soda; the label gives the shop's own ratio. Hill families serve them to guests in summer, sometimes with a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of pisyu loon on the rim. Some people also pour a little over ice cream or into lemonade.
Unopened bottles keep in a cool cupboard, out of the sun. Once opened, close the cap tightly, keep the bottle in the fridge and pour without touching the neck.
Sealed bottles usually keep for several months; once opened, finish within a few weeks. The bottle's label gives the shop's own best-before date.
Fine fruit or petal pulp settles in drinks that are not heavily filtered. Shake the bottle before pouring. It is part of the drink, not a fault.
Buransh gets its red from the petals. Some shops add colour and some do not; the ingredient list on the label and the product page says exactly what is in each bottle.
If it fizzes when you open it, the cap bulges, or it smells sour or alcoholic, it has started to ferment and should be thrown away.
