Authentic Nepali Masala Chai with Himalayan Depth
Most masala chai tastes generic. Flat spices. Harsh tea. Artificial shortcuts.
This one is extraordinary.
24° Nepali Cardamom Spiced Tea brings you premium loose leaf chai tea crafted from high elevation Himalayan black tea. Blended with aromatic Nepali cardamom and warming spices. Nothing artificial. Nothing rushed.
The black tea base grows in Ilam, Nepal between 7,000 and 7,500 feet. High altitude slows leaf development. Slower growth builds body and smoothness naturally. Reduces harsh bitterness completely.
The result? A bold yet refined masala chai with clean backbone and bright cardamom lift.
This is authentic Nepal tea transformed into a luxurious spiced chai experience.
Silver Grade Craftsmanship
24° Nepali Cardamom Spiced Tea begins with carefully selected loose leaf Himalayan black tea. The leaves are fully oxidized to create structure, depth, and natural malt character.
Premium cardamom is blended to enhance aroma and sweetness. The spice is vibrant yet balanced. Never overpowering the tea.
No artificial flavors hiding anything. No synthetic oils masking inferior ingredients.
This premium loose leaf chai delivers clarity and strength you can taste immediately.

Of course, you can! High-quality loose-leaf teas make the most refreshing iced teas—smooth, crisp, and oh-so-quenching!
