Kadak Assam Tea (CTC Black Tea Loose Leaves) - Freshville

Assam tea is black tea from North East India, known for its strong, malty taste and deep colour. Kadak means strong in Hindi, and kadak chai is the thick, full-bodied milk tea that most Indian homes start the day with. Freshville Kadak Assam Tea is made from CTC black tea leaves sourced from farmers in the East Khasi Hills of Meghalaya and in Assam. CTC (crush, tear, curl) leaves are small granules that brew quickly and give a bold colour, which suits milk chai. The seller describes the taste as strong with a sweet, fruity aroma typical of Assam tea. For a cup of kadak chai, boil water with one teaspoon of tea per cup, add milk and sugar, and simmer for a few minutes. Add crushed ginger, elaichi or chai masala if you like. Keep the pack tightly closed in a cool, dry place. This tea is sold by Freshokit India Pvt Ltd. Available in 100 g and 200 g packs.
