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
This week, we’re reading Intertidal by Yuvan Aves, a recommendation from our friends at @thebookshopinc Longlisted for the prestigious Wainwright Prize for Nature Writing, Intertidal asks us to rethink the values we live by. It invites us to see beyond the binaries of sea and coast, human and not human, self and other, and imagine a life deeply connected with all that surrounds us. We’d love to hear how what you think of Intertidal. Let us know in the comments! P.S. We’re excited to have partnered with local bookstores across 5 cities and we will feature recommendations from them each week. 💙 Watch our stories for more! 👀 #btbookclub #btbookclub

Lot 1 from Nano-X ‘25, Riverdale Estate - Gesha Natural is here! 💙 This is our third year sourcing a Gesha from @riverdaleestate__yercaud_india and as Prakashan puts it, it is his best harvest so far. A special light roast with layered notes of canary melon, cherries, jasmine, and wild berries, it brews well as a Pour Over, or using an AeroPress. We only have 191 jars of this limited-edition coffee. Click the link in our bio to bring one home!
Have your tried Kuttinkhan Estate yet? 😃 A fruity and punchy medium roast sourced from a rainforest alliance certified farm, it lends really well to a Pour Over. 🌟 Bring a bag home by clicking the link in our bio. 💙 #bluetokaibrews #pourovercoffee #bluetokaibrews #pourovercoffee
