Two chais, two moods
Himalayan Chiya: the afternoon warmer. Smooth, aromatic, lightly spiced. A family recipe from the Kangchenjunga foothills. Sichuan Chilli Chai: the evening wild card. Thirteen spices, zero caffeine, proper ma la tingle. 30 bags, about 73p a brew. Both made with 3+ grams of whole ingredients per bag, which is why they actually taste of something.
WHAT'S IN YOUR BUNDLE
-
Authentic Nepali spiced tea from the Kangchenjunga foothills. High-altitude black tea with cinnamon leaf, ginger, black cardamom, and black pepper, all grown together on one single farm. A family recipe passed down through generations. Grown by a farmer-owned cooperative founded in 1984, supporting over 100 families. Gentle caffeine.
-
Thirteen spices including Sichuan pepper and Timur pepper for that signature ma la tingle. Traditional masala spices meet Chengdu aromatics on a smooth rooibos base. Rooibos, ginger, cinnamon, cardamom, fennel, Sichuan pepper, Timur pepper, star anise, black pepper, clove, orange peel, chilli. Bold, warming, tinglicious. Caffeine-free.
YOU ASKED, WE ANSWERED
-
Nepali chai is gentler. Where Indian masala leans heavily on ginger and cloves, Himalayan Chiya uses cinnamon leaf, black cardamom, and black pepper, all grown together on one farm in the Kangchenjunga foothills. Aromatic, warming, less aggressive. A family recipe. (Before you ask: yes, we paid for it.)
-
Citrusy, tingly, slightly numbing. That's the ma la. Sichuan Chilli Chai has thirteen spices on a rooibos base: Sichuan pepper, Timur pepper, star anise, chilli, and more. It's not hot like a curry. It's a proper sensory experience. Tinglicious, as we've trademarked in our heads.
-
Himalayan Chiya has gentle caffeine: it's black tea. Sichuan Chilli Chai is caffeine-free: rooibos. So: morning chai or evening chai, depending on your caffeine tolerance and how late you plan on being awake staring at the ceiling.
-
Yes. Himalayan Chiya works brilliantly with steamed milk and a touch of sugar. That's how it's traditionally drunk. Sichuan Chilli Chai is more unusual but works either way. Try both. Pick a side. No wrong answers.
-
Roomy biodegradable tea bags with 3+ grams of whole ingredients per bag. Not dust. Not fannings. Proper whole spices and leaves that actually taste of something. Loose leaf purists, we see you, but these bags earn their place.
