Plain Assam black tea for US milk tea shops, chai brands, tea companies and private-label packers: CTC for strong brewing, broken leaf for a cleaner cup. Minimum order 100 kg, samples first, quoted in USD.
Assam is the classic base for milk tea, chai and breakfast blends.
It brews dark and full-bodied and keeps its colour through milk, sugar and ice, which is why US boba shops and chai makers use it as their house tea. We have sourced and blended tea since 2011 and pack in our own FSSC 22000 facility, registered with the Tea Board of India and the US FDA.
