Long before the advent of the modern day café, a tiny tea shop in Kalladka town, Bantwal taluk, just outside Mangalore was creating ripples, quite literally, with its ‘dancing’ frothy tea and coffee creations. I caught up with third generation owner of Hotel Laxmi Nivas, Shivaram Holla, to find out what has earned the Kalladka Tea, known in local parlance as KT, and the Rim Jhim coffee, concocted by his grandfather, Mr Lakshminarayan Holla nearly 70 years ago, a massive following through the decades. Hope you enjoy this episode, take care and stay safe.

Kaladaka Tea (KT)
A melange of thick tea decoction layered gently over frothy milk that’s fortified with sugar. The tea is ‘kadak’ and you can taste the tannins therein, but smooths on the palate when stirred into the milk. The sugar in the concoction is just right.
Rs 15
10/10

Rim Jhim
An aromatic, strong coffee balanced with rich, creamy milk that is undiluted with water and fortified with just the right amount of sugar. The coffee used here is a 80:20 blend of coffee and chicory, which helps deepen its roasted flavours on the palate..
