This is Indian Assam CTC, essential for chai.
CTC stands for Crush, Tear, Curl, which refers to the tea leaf processing method.
It brews a rich and strong flavor, making it suitable for milk tea and chai.
● How to Brew Tea ● (For Straight Tea)
1. Warm the teaware.
Warm the teapot and cups. Warming the teapot makes it easier for the tea leaves to infuse. If making milk tea, warming the cups is also recommended.
2. Add tea leaves.
Use approximately one spoonful per person, plus one extra spoonful, as a guideline. Adjust to your preference.
3. Pour hot water.
The ideal temperature is just after boiling (95°C - 98°C). If the water boils too much, the oxygen content decreases, preventing the tea leaves from "jumping." Pouring vigorously is key to brewing delicious tea.
4. Steep.
Steep thoroughly to bring out the flavor. Steeping for 1.5 to 3 minutes (adjust to your preference) allows for good extraction. Insulating the pot with a tea cozy or similar item helps maintain temperature and facilitates steeping.
5. Pour into cups.
Strain using a tea strainer. Swirling the teapot up and down while pouring at this stage can help extract more flavor from the tea leaves.
