Assam Tea CTC Strong
Assam tea is a type of black tea that originates from the Assam region in northeastern India, one of the largest tea-producing areas in the world. Known for its bold, malty flavor and rich amber color, Assam tea is often enjoyed in both loose-leaf and bagged forms. Here's a closer look at what makes Assam tea special:
CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl): This is a popular processing method in Assam where the tea leaves are machine-processed into small, tightly rolled pellets. CTC Assam tea is often used in tea bags and produces a strong, brisk cup of tea.
Orthodox: Orthodox Assam tea refers to traditionally processed leaves where the leaves are hand-rolled and often larger and more open than CTC leaves. This style tends to yield a smoother, richer cup of tea with more nuanced flavors.
Single-Origin vs. Blends: Assam tea can be enjoyed as a single-origin tea, where the leaves come from a specific estate or garden, or as part of blends. For instance, Assam is a key ingredient in many popular breakfast blends, like English Breakfast or Irish Breakfast.
Assam tea, like other black teas, contains antioxidants, which can support heart health, boost metabolism, and provide a natural energy lift. The high caffeine content also makes it a popular choice for those looking for a morning pick-me-up.
Assam tea is enjoyed worldwide, not only in India but also in the UK, the US, and many other countries. It’s often paired with breakfast foods and is a mainstay in many cultures' tea-drinking rituals.
