What is Nepali tea and chiya?
Chiya is the Nepali word for tea. In many households, it means a comforting cup prepared with milk and sugar, sometimes with warming spices. Recipes vary between families: some prefer a simple milk tea, while others enjoy ginger or cardamom.
Tea grown in Nepal and tea prepared in a Nepali style are not necessarily the same thing. A chiya recipe does not by itself establish where its tea leaves were grown. For any product's origin and ingredients, check its packaging rather than assuming it comes from a particular Himalayan region.

How to brew Nepali chiya at home
Use the tea packet's directions as your starting point. For a milk-based chiya, heat water with the recommended amount of tea, then add milk and sweetener if desired and finish brewing according to the instructions. Strain before serving where needed.
For a spiced version, try a lightly crushed pod of green cardamom or a small piece of ginger. Start with a little and adjust your next cup to taste. If you are using a masala tea blend, brew it first before deciding whether you want extra spice.
There is no single recipe that every household follows. Adjust the balance of tea, water and milk until you find a cup you enjoy, and take care when heating milk so it does not boil over.
Plan your tea-time shop
Check your cupboard before ordering so you can buy tea alongside the ingredients and snacks you actually need. Biscuits, rusk or a small savoury snack can accompany a cup of chiya. Check ingredient and allergen information when serving guests, including any milk or snacks offered with the tea.
MasalaMart's standard delivery estimate is 3–5 working days from ordering, including processing. Working days are Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. Check the delivery options and charges shown at checkout for your address.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Nepali tea and Indian tea?
Both countries produce a range of teas, so there is no single flavour difference that applies to every product. Region, leaf type, processing and brewing method all affect the finished cup. Nepali chiya and Indian chai can both be prepared with milk, sugar and spices, with many household variations.
How do you make Nepali chiya?
Follow the tea's pack directions, adding milk and sugar to taste if desired. For a spiced cup, add a little cardamom or ginger while heating, then strain before serving where needed.
Should I choose Tokla Gold or Tokla Masala Tea?
Tokla Gold and Tokla Real Masala Tea offer different choices for your tea routine. If you specifically want a spiced tea blend, consider the masala option. Read each label for ingredients and preparation details before choosing.
Does tea contain caffeine?
Black tea naturally contains caffeine. The amount in a cup varies with the tea, quantity used and brewing method. Do not assume that a lighter-looking brew is caffeine-free.
How should I store my tea?
Keep it tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture and strong odours. Follow any storage instructions on the packaging.
Can I order tea with other groceries?
Yes, you can include tea in your MasalaMart grocery order. Check current availability before ordering. Free delivery is available on orders over £50, with delivery options confirmed at checkout.
