Revival stories from Zishta as it brings its traditional cookware to Chennai
Among the first products that the three co-founders of Zishta — Meera Ramakrishnan, Archish Mathe Madhavan, and Varishta Sampath — wanted to revive were the iconic davarah (brass tumbler) and coffee filter. As Tamilians who love their filter coffee, it was top-of-mind. “We couldn’t find a single artisan in and around Kumbakonam [considered the hub of filter coffee in Tamil Nadu] who actually handmade the traditional brass variety. We went door-to-door in a village that was once its handcrafting centre,” recalls Ramakrishnan of the Bengaluru-based brand, known for reviving traditional products, which is launching its Chennai store on April 17.More Related News
