Loka Masala Chai Blend loose-leaf Assam black tea — 4.2 oz coarse-ground, spice-forward chai (up to 30 cups)

Loka Masala Chai Blend is a coarse-ground Assam black tea blended with six whole Ayurvedic spices, precision-milled to deliver rich, spice-forward chai and roughly 30 cups per 4.2 oz bag.

Handcrafted to perform in the Loka Chai Maker, this blend pairs single-estate Broken Orange Pekoe Assam from Chota Tingrai with whole-cardamom, cinnamon verum, ginger, black pepper, fennel, and cloves. The coarse grind and flow calibration minimize sludge and ensure full extraction, while regenerative farming and pesticide-free sourcing preserve flavor and farm health.

How does this blend differ from regular loose-leaf chai?

This blend is intentionally coarse-ground and flow-calibrated for modern chai-brewing equipment. Instead of fine dust that clogs filters or leaves grit, the particle size extracts evenly and strains cleanly, giving a smoother cup with pronounced spice character.

• Precision-milled coarse grind for consistent infusion
• Single-estate BOP Assam base for a bold, milk-friendly backbone
• Whole Ayurvedic spices for layered aroma and depth
• Flow-calibrated to reduce sediment and improve filtration

What flavor profile and strength should I expect?

Expect a spice-forward chai with a robust malty tea base that stands up to milk. Cardamom and cinnamon bring fragrant sweetness, ginger and black pepper add warming bite, while fennel and cloves round the finish with subtle licorice and resinous notes.

• Bold, amber tea body that mixes well with dairy or plant milk
• Spicy, warm midpalate from ginger and pepper
• Sweet aromatic lift from green cardamom and cinnamon
• Balanced finish with fennel and clove undertones

How do I brew this to get the best cup at home?

Simmer 1–2 teaspoons of the blend per cup with water and your choice of milk until the liquid turns rich and aromatic, then strain. The coarse grind tolerates a short simmer and produces full-bodied extraction without leaving gritty residue.

• Use 1–2 teaspoons (or 1–2 tablespoons per cup for very strong chai) per cup
• Simmer with water and milk until color and aroma develop, then strain
• Adjust simmer time for personal strength and sweetness
• Works best in the Loka Chai Maker but brews well on stovetop or with a fine strainer

What sustainability and sourcing practices are used?

The tea and spices are regenerated and grown without pesticides, and spices are never irradiated, helping preserve natural oils and aroma. Loka sources tea from a single estate and pays fair wages, supporting transparency and better farm stewardship.

• Single-estate Chota Tingrai Assam tea for traceability
• Regeneratively farmed spices to rebuild soil health
• Pesticide-free and non-irradiated processing to retain flavor
• Fair-wage production practices along the supply chain

Who is this for? Loka Masala Chai Blend is designed for chai lovers who want café-quality, spice-forward chai at home without filter clog or sediment—especially people using the Loka Chai Maker, small-batch brewers seeking single-estate tea, and anyone who prefers sustainably farmed, non-irradiated ingredients. It’s a practical choice for daily ritualists, specialty-cafe operators, and home cooks who value traceable sourcing and a reliably smooth cup.
