🍵 Organic Assam CTC Tea - Hathikuli Estate (Premium Grade)

Our Premium Organic Assam CTC Tea is sourced from the renowned Hathikuli Tea Estate 🌱, widely respected for its uncompromising commitment to certified organic cultivation. Bold, malty, and full-bodied, this is a classic Assam CTC designed for robust everyday tea, especially with milk 🥛.

📖 Why Hathikuli Is Exceptional

Hathikuli is often cited by tea professionals as a benchmark for organic tea production in India:

• 🌍 Largest Organic Tea Estate in Assam: Transitioned fully to organic decades ago, when it was commercially risky.
• 🌊 Brahmaputra Floodplain Terroir: Rich alluvial soils, high humidity, and consistent rainfall create Assam’s signature malty character.
• ♻️ True Organic Integrity: Closed-loop system using composting, bio-inputs, and ecological pest management.
• ⚙️ CTC Expertise: Assam’s climate and leaf chemistry are perfectly suited to the Crush-Tear-Curl method, producing strong liquor with aroma intact.

Within industry circles, Hathikuli is regarded as one of India’s most credible sources of genuinely organic Assam CTC tea.

📖 What Makes Our CTC Special?

CTC (Crush-Tear-Curl) tea is sometimes misunderstood as purely industrial. In reality, quality CTC begins with quality leaf.

At Hathikuli:

• 🍃 Organically grown Camellia sinensis leaves are harvested at optimal maturity
• 🔥 Processed to retain strength, colour, and aroma, without chemical residues
• 🍵 Produces a deep coppery liquor, strong maltiness, and a clean finish despite its strength

This makes it ideal for Indian households that value energy, consistency, and satisfaction in every cup - without compromising purity.
