Assam Chai CTC Tea – Loose Leaf

Assam Chai CTC Tea is a celebration of India’s most iconic tea-growing region — the lush, low-lying plains of Assam, where the unique climate and rich soil produce a tea unlike any other in the world. Bold, malty, and deeply satisfying, this CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl) tea is crafted for those who love their chai strong, vibrant, and full of character.

The liquor brews to a deep, rich amber with a bright, inviting colour and a robust, malty aroma that is both warming and energising. On the palate, the tea delivers a full-bodied, assertive flavour with a natural briskness and a satisfying depth that pairs beautifully with milk. The finish is bold and lingering, with the characteristic strength that Assam tea is celebrated for worldwide.

Assam CTC tea is the backbone of the classic Indian chai — its strong, robust character holds up perfectly to milk, sugar, and spices, making it the ideal base for masala chai, ginger chai, or simply a straightforward, satisfying cup of everyday tea. It is the tea that fuels millions of mornings across India.

To brew, use one heaped teaspoon per cup. For a classic chai, combine with milk and water in equal parts, bring to a boil, add sugar to taste, and simmer for 2–3 minutes. For a black cup, brew with boiling water for 3–4 minutes and enjoy with or without sugar.

Authentic, robust, and deeply satisfying — Assam Chai CTC Tea is the heart of Indian tea culture in every cup.
