Still have questions? We've got you.
What is Assam CTC Leaf?
It is CTC (crush-tear-curl) Assam leaf tea — bold and strong, a classic base for everyday Indian chai. TEAME is part of Madhu Jayanti International, a tea house with 80+ years of sourcing experience, and all TEAME teas are 100% natural with no added sugar or artificial flavours.
How is CTC leaf different from CTC dust?
CTC leaf is a slightly larger grain than dust, brewing strong but a touch less intensely fast. Both make robust chai.
How do I make chai with it?
Boil with water and milk, add spices and sweetener to taste, and simmer briefly for a full-bodied chai.
Does it contain caffeine?
Yes. As a caffeinated tea it contains natural caffeine, lighter than coffee. It is best enjoyed in the morning or afternoon rather than late at night.
Does it contain added sugar?
No. It contains no added sugar and no artificial flavours or preservatives. Any sweetness comes from the natural ingredients, and you can add your own honey or sweetener to taste.
What does it taste like?
Bold, brisk and malty — a dependable morning chai base.
Can I drink it without milk?
It is primarily a milk-chai tea, but you can brew a strong black cup if you prefer.
When is the best time to drink it?
Morning or afternoon.
How should I store it?
Store sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat, light, moisture and strong odours. Once opened, keep it airtight and use within a few months for the best flavour and aroma.
