Assam Tea - CTC-style

This organic black tea from Assam, India, is rich and full-bodied. CTC stands for “Crush, Tear, Curl,” a processing method that produces small, uniform tea granules that brew quickly and deliver a strong, brisk cup. With its malty character and deep colour, this tea pairs beautifully with milk and sugar, making it an ideal choice for traditional masala chai or a satisfying standalone cup of hearty black tea.

This is the very Assam we chose for our Original Chai Blend. It's a beautifully rich black tea, but what we love most about it is how wonderfully it complements the other flavours when blended. It holds its own while allowing the other ingredients to shine. And, of course, it's equally delicious enjoyed on its own!
