Nepali Tea Blends FAQs
Brewing, caffeine, and ingredients—quick answers about our Nepali tea blends.
What makes Nepali tea blends different?
Our blends start with single-origin Ilam teas for a clean, smooth base, then layer real ingredients—masala spices, dried orange peel, vanilla bean pieces, spearmint, fennel, and eucalyptus—for vivid flavor without bitterness. Small-batch craft preserves a bright Himalayan finish you won’t find in mass-market flavored teas.
Do you use artificial flavors or additives?
No. We rely on real botanicals and premium whole-leaf tea. Everest Earl Grey uses dried orange peel and Madagascan Bourbon vanilla bean pieces; our masala blend features classic chai spices; Makalu Mint Green Tea pairs green tea with spearmint, fennel, and eucalyptus. Ingredient lists are shown on each product page.
How do I brew Nepali masala chai (chiya) for the best cup?
Use about 2 teaspoons per 8 oz water and steep 4–6 minutes at 200–212°F. For a creamy cup, add warm milk (or a milk alternative) and sweeten to taste. For a richer café-style chai, brew strong first, then heat briefly with milk—avoid a rolling boil to keep the cup smooth and aromatic.
What’s the ideal way to brew Everest Earl Grey and the green blends?
Everest Earl Grey: 1.5–2 tsp per 8 oz at ~205°F for 3–4 minutes; excellent plain or with a splash of milk. June Jasmine & Makalu Mint Green: 1–1.5 tsp per 8 oz at ~170–185°F for 2–3 minutes to keep the cup smooth and highlight floral or mint notes.
Do these blends contain caffeine and how should I store them?
Yes—black- and green-tea blends contain natural caffeine (green typically less than black). Store airtight, away from light, heat, moisture, and strong odors. Proper storage helps protect aroma and keep flavor bright for months.
