What is Assam CTC?
CTC stands for Crush Tear and Curl and describes a tea process that has been used since the 1930s. Tea is passed through cylindrical rollers with hundreds of sharp teeth that grind the tea into tiny hard pellets.
The benefit of this method of processing is that it is well-suited for teabags. It also quickly produces a dark, delicious brew with little effort which is probably why it is the preferred production method for black teas on a global scale.
Assam CTC, then, is the Assam tea we love but stronger and easier to brew.
Assam tea is known to be brightly coloured, with a malty taste and is usually a major ingredient in tea blends marketed as breakfast tea, because it has a relatively high caffeine content. Assam is the largest tea-growing region in India and, thanks to our team at Teavision (leading tea company in Australia), have found sustainable suppliers that match our stringent quality checks and ethical production. So you can find organic Assam CTC online from Teavision that is perfect for your morning cup.
Assam is a black tea with the antioxidants that great teas are known for but may also help with circulation thanks to the polyphenols that are associated with reducing cholesterol. Assam also has some prebiotic properties that help digestive function. Other benefits include disease and cancer prevention as well as increasing brain health.
Making the perfect cup of tea is easy with Assam CTC. Just 1 teaspoon in a tea infuser combined with slightly cooled boiled water (about 90 degrees centigrade) produces a flavour profile that ranges from light and refreshing to earthy and smoky depending on brew time. Assam CTC tea steeps quickly so only needs 30 seconds to 1 minute brew time to avoid over brewing.
