Description

Assam CTC tea is a robust and full-bodied black tea renowned for its rich, malty flavor and deep amber hue. Its unique name stems from the distinctive production method, where fresh tea leaves are crushed, torn, and curled to optimize the brewing process. This technique results in a tea that is quick to steep and delivers a strong, invigorating cup.

Often referred to as “builder’s tea,” Assam CTC is a popular choice for those seeking a hearty and satisfying brew. It pairs exceptionally well with milk, enhancing its creamy texture and mellowing its bold character. Whether enjoyed on its own or as a base for chai or other tea-based drinks, Assam CTC offers a versatile and flavorful experience.
