Our Good Assam CTC is the everyday champion — strong, reliable, full-bodied tea for households that go through a kilogram monthly and refuse to settle for supermarket blends. Sourced from select gardens in South Assam, where the slightly different soil composition compared to Upper Assam yields CTC granules that are bold, deeply coloured, and exceptionally brisk.
This is the tea that powers most Assamese households. When brewed with milk on the stove, the liquor cuts right through, producing a satisfying cup with backbone and depth. No blandness, no bitterness — just honest, strong chai.
Who is this for? Families looking for a high-quality daily chai at an honest price. If you are currently buying tea from a supermarket or local grocery shop, this is your upgrade — same price bracket, dramatically better quality because we source directly from Assam gardens with no middlemen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between this and the First Flush CTC?
A: Good Assam CTC is a strong, bold everyday tea from South Assam. First Flush CTC is lighter and sweeter, from the season’s first harvest in Dibrugarh. Both are excellent — it depends on whether you prefer bold strength or nuanced sweetness.
Q: Is this suitable for making masala chai?
A: Absolutely. The bold, brisk character holds up perfectly against strong spices like ginger and cardamom without getting lost.
Q: How many cups can I make from 1KG?
A: Approximately 200 to 250 cups, depending on how strong you brew. At 2 teaspoons per cup, a family of 4 drinking 3 cups daily will use about 1KG per month.
