Baaghini, a six-coffee blend, takes centrestage in this Hyderabad cafe

Qaffeine Bistro in Hyderabad has Baaghini, a six-coffee blend

Baaghini denotes a tigress in many Indian languages. It is also the name of a coffee blend crafted by restaurateur Amar Ohri at Qaffeine, a new coffee shop on Road no 10, Banjara Hills, Hyderabad. This Baaghini is a blend of coffees from various parts of India, resulting in a unique blend that makes it suitable for fun cold drinks and brews.

Qaffeine’s green and vanilla interiors can be instantly energising. Apart from making the space bright all through the day, it also makes it warm and welcoming.

Amar Ohri, MD of Qaffeine, says the Baaghini blend represents India in a cup. “It took us over eight months of research and numerous trials to perfect this blend. We have used coffee beans from six different regions of India — Chikmagalur, Coorg, Wayanad, Yercaud, Koraput and Nagaland — into one signature blend. Indian coffee is top tier and our label is a true celebration of all things Indian.”

On the menu are drinks such as Madras Old Fashioned, cold brew with kokum, and Mysore Silk. Baaghini celebrates Indianess not just in the blend, but in coffee-based drinks as well. As chilled drinks become the go-to options during summer, Baaghini hopes to woo coffee lovers. Qaffeine has something to suit every palate, be it sweet or with coffee’s inherent bitterness.

If you do not prefer cream or lactose in your coffee, try the Madras Old Fashioned, Cascara San or Blanc brew cold brew.
