How much caffeine is in Kashmiri Saffron Qahwa Botanical Brew?

Kashmiri Saffron Qahwa Botanical Brew is naturally caffeine-free, so each 8 oz cup (240ml) serving contains no measurable caffeine.

What temperature should I use for Kashmiri Saffron Qahwa Botanical Brew?

Target 96°C (205°F). Below this range the cup tends toward sourness and thinness from under-extraction; above it, bitterness rises faster than sweetness.

How long should Kashmiri Saffron Qahwa Botanical Brew be extracted?

Extract for 5:00-8:00 depending on botanical structure using Stovetop Decoction, at a ratio of 12g botanicals per Liter of water, prepared at Cut Leaf, Petal, Grain, or Root. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Kashmiri Saffron Qahwa Botanical Brew taste bitter?

Bitterness almost always indicates over-extraction. Shorten the contact time, lower the water temperature slightly, or use less leaf. Change one variable at a time so you can tell which one was responsible.

Who should avoid Kashmiri Saffron Qahwa Botanical Brew?

Caffeine-free does not mean appropriate for every person, condition, allergy, or medication. Use individualized guidance for pregnancy, medication interactions, allergies, reflux, or other health concerns. This is general educational information, not medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own circumstances.
