Chai doesn't need a showpiece pod — it needs clean, genuinely aromatic cardamom at a price that still works when you're blending it with ginger, clove, cinnamon and pepper. That's exactly what this grade is: 6–7.2mm high-range pods at 5.5–6.5% essential oil, sorted and cleaned to the same standard as our premium sizes.

The Blending Math
In a typical chai masala, cardamom is one of five spices. Paying 8.5mm prices for aroma that gets blended down is money your competitor isn't spending. This grade keeps the cardamom character in the cup and the margin in your business.
