Here the Tea is simply called as ‘KT’ means Kalladka Tea while the coffee is well known as ‘Rimjhim’. The taste is amazing and it is one of a kind where one can see a clear difference between the milk layer and the tea or coffee decoction and is reasonably priced at Rs 6. The tumbler contains of thick milk at the bottom, decoction at the middle and the milk froth at the top, each separating from other. This marvelous technique is complete when the server places the spoon in the tumbler to stir before serving. This kind of unusual trick is being continued since the  past 60 years by the  Holla family which runs the hotel. Presently, Srinivas Holla is in charge of continuing the KT and Rimjhim tradition of Laxminivasa.
