Born from Muji's commitment to simple, thoughtful living, this Masala Chai was created for those who love authentic flavor but lack the time for traditional preparation. Our product development team in Japan spent over two years sourcing and testing spice blends from India, rejecting 23 formulations before achieving the perfect balance of cardamom, cinnamon, and black pepper. Every batch is produced in a Japanese GMP-certified facility, ensuring the 170g of powder you receive is free from artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives.

Muji Masala Chai Instant Tea Powder is a carefully crafted blend designed to deliver the authentic, aromatic experience of traditional Indian masala chai in a convenient instant form. The primary ingredient is black tea powder, which provides the robust, caffeinated base characteristic of chai, offering both a rich flavor and a gentle energy boost. Sugar is included to sweeten the mix, balancing the spices and creating a harmonious taste profile without the need for additional sweeteners. Milk powder adds creaminess and body, mimicking the texture of freshly brewed chai with milk while enhancing the overall mouthfeel. The blend is elevated by a medley of traditional spices: cardamom contributes a warm, slightly sweet aroma and aids digestion; cinnamon adds a sweet, woody note and may help regulate blood sugar; ginger provides a zesty, pungent kick known for its anti-inflammatory properties and digestive benefits; cloves offer a strong, pungent flavor with antimicrobial qualities; and black pepper adds a subtle heat while enhancing the bioavailability of other spices. Together, these ingredients create a balanced, flavorful beverage that offers convenience, comfort, and potential health benefits such as improved digestion, antioxidant support from the tea and spices, and a soothing, aromatic experience that can be enjoyed anytime.
