A bold black tea base blended with ten whole spices — black pepper, ginger, fennel, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, star anise, nutmeg, mace, and bay leaf. Brewed the traditional way, with milk, not just steeped in water.

How to brew this tea?
Real Black Tea, Real Chai Flavor
Most masala chai on grocery shelves is built from artificial spice flavoring sprayed onto low-grade dust. Ours starts with real CTC black tea — a stronger, faster-brewing cut specifically suited to standing up to milk and spice — grown in Nepal on gardens between 3,000 and 7,000 feet, blended with ten whole spices, not extracts.
That means real black pepper, real cardamom pods, real cinnamon bark — not a flavor designed to taste like them.

Bold. Spiced. Warm.
Straight from the product description, in plain terms.
Cardamom and clove up front, with black pepper's sharpness underneath.
A bold black tea backbone carrying real spice warmth — never just "chai-flavored."
Long and warming, especially with a splash of milk.
Why buy this over the grocery-store box?
Real CTC tea, not dust
CTC is a real, distinct style of black tea — cut small on purpose so it brews fast and strong enough to hold up to milk and spice. Not the unnamed low-grade dust most bagged chai is built from.
Whole spices, not extracts
Actual cardamom pods, cinnamon bark, and clove — not a flavoring oil sprayed onto plain tea dust.
Single-origin tea base
The tea itself comes from the same hillside gardens as the rest of our lineup — no blending in filler leaf from elsewhere.
Balanced by hand
Ten spices is easy to get wrong — too much clove or cinnamon overwhelms everything else. Our ratio is tested by hand, not just scaled up from a formula.
Brew it the traditional way — with milk
What actually shows up at your door
This is the real tube — mountain-line logo, a hand-drawn tea shoot on the front, and the full brew guide (hot, iced, and cold-brew instructions) printed right on the back, so you're never digging through a drawer for a card you lost.
No shrink-wrap, no plastic tin, no printed inserts to throw away separately. Just one recyclable tube, front to back.
A thin foil liner sits inside the tube itself — isolating the tea and spices from outside air and moisture — so the outer packaging can stay simple cardboard without the tea losing freshness.
