Tamr Henna (تمر حنة) is a beloved and refreshing drink rooted in the Middle Eastern tradition, made from the tangy, flavorful tamarind fruit. While its name combines Tamr (meaning "dates") and Henna (referring to the henna plant), Tamr Henna actually highlights the unique flavour of tamarind, bringing together an age-old taste with a modern twist.
Originating from tropical Africa, the tamarind tree spread to the Middle East and South Asia through ancient trade routes, where it has been celebrated for centuries in cuisine and traditional medicine. Its tangy, sour notes make Tamr Henna a refreshing choice, particularly popular during the holy month of Ramadan for its energising and thirst-quenching qualities. Sipped at gatherings and cultural events, Tamr Henna has become a symbol of hospitality, connecting people to a rich heritage with every sip. Perfect for those who crave a blend of cultural authenticity and delicious flavour, Tamr Henna is a time-honoured tradition in a glass.
