VAHDAM CTC Assam Black Tea Loose Leaf 12 oz — Bold, High-Caffeine Pure Assam, Vacuum-Sealed 170+ Servings

VAHDAM CTC Black Tea is a bold, high-caffeine loose-leaf Assam crafted from second-flush CTC leaves, packaged fresh for robust, milky or straight-up cups.

This 12 oz (approximately 170+ servings) bag of pure Assam loose-leaf tea captures the brisk, malty character that fans of strong black tea expect. Harvested in Upper Assam during peak summer and processed using the CTC (crush-tear-curl) method, these leaves deliver quick extraction, deep color, and a hearty flavor that stands up well to milk and sweeteners. Vacuum-sealed within 24–72 hours of plucking and stored in a three-layer resealable bag, the tea is aimed at drinkers who want a consistently powerful cup without compromising freshness.

How strong is this tea, and how many cups will the bag make?

VAHDAM CTC Assam is intentionally high in caffeine and flavor because it uses robust second-flush leaves. One 12 oz bag provides roughly 170+ standard servings when brewed at recommended strength.

• Serving guideline: 2 g loose leaf per 200 ml water
• Brewing temp: 100°C (212°F) for full extraction
• Steep time: 3–5 minutes depending on preferred strength
• Approximate servings: 12 oz ≈ 170+ cups at 2 g per cup

Why choose CTC Assam loose leaf over tea bags?

CTC processing beats out traditional whole-leaf styles when you want rapid, consistent infusion and a strong liquor suitable for milk-based preparations. Loose CTC leaves release color and tannins quickly, making them ideal for busy mornings or chai blends.

• Faster brew time and uniform strength cup-to-cup
• Bold flavor that mixes well with milk and spices
• Greater control over leaf quantity versus fixed tea bags
• Freshness preserved via vacuum sealing and resealable packaging

How should I brew VAHDAM CTC Assam for the best result?

Use boiling water and a slightly longer steep to unlock the tea’s full body; adjust leaf quantity and time to hit your preferred balance between briskness and smoothness. For milk tea or masala chai, brew a stronger concentrate and add warmed milk.

• Water: 200 ml at 100°C (212°F)
• Leaf: 2 g per cup (increase for stronger brew)
• Steep: 3–5 minutes; longer for richer taste
• Milk option: brew stronger and combine with hot milk or spices
