3 Paan Sheesha Tea

Ono Teas’ Teen Paan Sheesha constitutes hand-picked Darjeeling tea leaves, fennel seeds, betel nut pieces, and Paan leaves. It’s a tea that emulates the flavour of Teen Paan Sheesha.  First, let’s explore how the culture of Sheesha came into existence. There are many conflicting opinions of Sheesha’s origin. People say it’s from Egypt, Iran, Turkey, or India. A physician named Hakim Abul Fateh Geelani invented Sheesha as a healthier alternative to chewing tobacco. Find out more about this in our detailed blog. Now let’s come to the beloved Sheesha flavour, Teen Paan (betel leaf). Paan not only serves the purpose of flavouring but also holds strong sociocultural significance. Its history traces back to 5000 years. Teen Paan is traditional to India’s food culture – it has been mentioned in ancient epics like Ramayana referring to Lord Rama who chewed this leaf to curb hunger. Even today, Betel leaves are offered as a gift on auspicious occasions and in religious rituals in Durga Puja and Diwali.  We pay tribute to Teen Paan and Sheesha to preserve their culture and provide you with a healthier version that we can all love. Our tea ensures that its memory lives on with every sip.
