Paper Boat Drinks Review

Paper Boat Golgappe Ka Pani

Long drawn summers are about to begin and what better time than to review these very Indian drinks. I don't see other brands featuring flavors as special to the Indian palate and so I find the brand very unique.

I am checking out three of their flavors in today's post and let's start with Golgappe Ka Pani!


It is very sweet and tangy, most of their drinks are a mix of sweet, salty and sour. So if you are like me, if you like both in combination you will enjoy most of their flavors. The taste of lime juice, tamarind juice, black salt, sugar, cumin and a dash of ginger tickle your tongue. A look at the ingredient list and you will be quite amused to find lal mirch, coriander, pepper, nutmeg, ajwain and amchur powder all peppered in there too. Wow, I wouldn't have guessed. :)



They stress on the packaging that there is no junk in here. 

Next up is Imli Ka Amlana! The names are also as unique as the flavors.

Paper Boat Imli Ka Amlana
This one was quite a bit of a surprise, it started off with a nice amla-cola flavor but has a slight medicinal after taste. It is quite interesting in flavor. Sweet, tangy, cola-ish for lack of a better word.
I found this quite interesting among the ones I tried this time round. There is a lot of sweet in here, along with tamarind, black salt, ajwain, ginger, cinnamom, fennel, black pepper, cumin,


It also looks like cola just without all the fizz.

Jaljeera
I also tried Jaljeera. Let me just start off by saying that I am not a Jaljeera person. I like regular jeera water but I do not like Jaljeera. I mean the regular kind of Jaljeera, that you get at restaurants.
So I was not sure if I could review this wholesomely. But I will give it a try.

There's some strong jeera in here peppered with the usual spices you see in the other two drinks with a dash of lemon juice. It's sweet and , uhmm well, it's tastes like Jaljeera does. lol ;) Those of you who love jaljeera might be going, 'Who is this bloody girl that hates freaking Jaljeera, man?' I know, I know. You love it!

What I do have to say about these juices is that they do give you a much needed electrolyte kick if you are in the hot sun and you really want something refreshing, just get it chilled and slurp it down. It will definitely replenish all the salt you have lost.
Not to mention, with all those spices and stuff in there, must be really cooling for the body in summer.

I think these drinks along with the whole packaging will be a sure hit this summer. Some of you may have already tried these out because they have been in the supermarket shelves long enough for you to let me know what your comments are about these products. What flavors do you enjoy?

  5. I have tried a few but did not like them at all (for I don't like sweet flavour) However, the Husband loves it so we have an unending supply at home :D I might have a go at Aam Ras though. That's always wonderful sweet.

    1. I can understand that your taste buds didn't feel in sync. I happen to have certain preferences myself but sugar is something that I've also had trouble staying away from :)

  10. Finally I am able to open your blog. Don't know why but for some time it wouldn't open in my PC. Must be some technical issues here.
    Glad it finally opened!
    When the email came about this post being published I was dieing to read it! I finally got to read it today! The ads of this brand has been killing me and you did a pretty nice review too.
    Wish they sell it in Kerala as well :) :)
