This week at the Blue Tokai Book Club, we’re diving into Wanderers, Kings, Merchants by Peggy Mohan. Recommended by the brilliant women at @storytellerkol, this book turns big ideas about linguistics into a lively, engaging read. Mohan explores the complex world of speech patterns, word choices, and language shifts through inviting prose. She reveals how Sanskrit and Dravidian languages shaped each other, how Kerala’s Namboodiri Brahmins wove Sanskrit words into Malayalam, and how Nagamese sprang up in the North-East India as a fresh branch of the Māgadhan languages. She also explores the rise of Urdu, the Sanskritization of Hindi in the 1800s, and how English took root under the Raj and after independence. By the end, you’re sure to see languages as living entities, shaped by migrations, conquests, and everyday life. Reading along? Drop your thoughts with us in the comments. 💙 P.S.

Meet YC-01 by @ratnagiri_estate the latest drop from our Producer Series 2025! The producers Ashok and Divya Patre processed this coffee using bio-reactors, in a CO2 rich environment. During a 76-hour fermentation, two yeast strains alongside lactic acid bacteria were introduced. And the most exciting part? The yeast strains were crafted using the farm’s own organic matter! The result is an expressive light roast with both fruity and floral layers. In each sip, you’ll taste jasmine, custard apple, forest honey, and earl grey tea.

An evening in the City of Joy marked the beginning of something new for us at Blue Tokai. ✨ At our Biowonder Ruby café in Kolkata, Chef Auroni and our co-founder, Shivam, came together to launch our revamped Kolkata café menu. It was a first taste of the exciting journey ahead, reflecting everything we love- creativity, flavour, and the joy of sharing experiences around the table. 💙 Dine in or order from Kolkata via the link in our stories.
This week at the Blue Tokai Book Club, we’re reading Chikkamma Tours Pvt. Ltd., the debut novel by Unmana. A recommendation by our friends at @champacabooks, the story begins in a beloved bookstore in Bengaluru. But things take a turn when the cosy space turns into the scene of a crime. We follow Nilima, who jumps at the chance of playing amateur detective — and from there, a web of secrets unravels, brought to life by warm, flawed characters and the city itself. Reading along? Share your thoughts with us in the comments. 💙 P.S. Keep an eye on our feed for weekly picks from some of our favourite local independent bookstores. 👀 #btbookclub #btbookclub
