Authentic Himalayan Chiya, Crafted the Nepali Way

02° Yak Mountain Masala Chai isn't some trendy reinterpretation. It's the real thing. The kind of spiced black tea you'd find simmering in busy Kathmandu kitchens. The same brew shared in remote mountain villages. Bold. Warming. Unapologetically robust.We built this blend on premium CTC black tea from Ilam's high-altitude gardens. The tea grows at 7,000–7,500 feet. It's designed for one purpose: milk-based brewing. Just like generations of Nepali families have done it.This is traditional "Chiya" in its truest form.

Why Yak Mountain Chai Stands Apart

Altitude changes everything.At higher elevations, black tea develops serious strength. No harshness. No bitterness. Just clean, powerful flavor that holds its own against bold spices.When you brew this loose leaf masala chai with milk, something magical happens. The tea turns deep and dark. The body becomes full and satisfying. The spices bloom without overwhelming.Never thin. Never washed out. Always rich.This style of chai thrives in colder Himalayan regions. Sherpa communities drink it daily. It's part of the rhythm of mountain life. Warming. Essential. Deeply comforting.
