Coffees From 150-year-old Coffee Estates!
Sourcing coffee beans from farms like the 150-year-old Yellikodige Estate (the original owner, C. H. Godfrey sent the bulk of coffee grown directly to London), Karadykan Estate (started in the 1900s by Charles Crawford), and Yelnoorkhan Estate (Rainforest Alliance certified), Blue Tokai is a homegrown coffee house traces the journey of your coffee right to its source.
While the coffees are timeless, I wanted to explore the ignored items on their menu. I tried the Cascara & Hibiscus cold brew. The bitterness of the cascara which is the dried skin of coffee cherries (proven to regulate sleep) was balanced with the acidic rushes of lemon and mint. However, I felt the drink needed a bit more sweetening of Hibiscus to offset the one-note flavour.
Overall, this 320 ml was decently priced at INR 200. But I would skip this drink, if I were you.
I even tried the Millet Tabouleh (not pictured) which had a healthy mix of nuts, capsicum, cucumber and sprinkling of goat's cheese. The salad was just about right and felt it was tossed together in a hurry.
At INR 350, the hearty salad for one slightly went above the price considering the taste was not appetising.
Lesson learned: Stick to coffees when at Blue Tokai.
Best,
