Healthy Green Tea is a famous drink all over the world, most people use it in winter because it’s very beneficial for health. Here, in Pakistani cuisine, healthy green tea is pronounced in different ways, like Afghani Kahwa, Sabaz change, and just Kahwa as well. However, Pakistani local Kahwa has a unique and unforgettable flavour. The consumption of Kahwa is very high in upper areas of Pakistan, particularly in the northern parts of KPK province.
