## Description

desertcart.com : Tea India Assam Black Tea, CTC Loose Leaf, 2 lb : Grocery Tea Sampler : Grocery & Gourmet Food

Review: Strong, malty, Assam tea. Great price. - Great tea, especially for the price. It’s by far the strongest tea I’ve encountered. Best way to adjust strength and astringency (bitterness) is steeping temperature. My first pot was at rolling boil and steeped for 3 minutes, its was stiff. Definitely what I would recommend if you’re planning on adding milk and sugar. If you like to drink tea straight up like I do, let the water cool down to 150-160 degrees Fahrenheit, and let steep for 5-10 minutes. It completely took away the bitterness and left a still strong, dark, malty tea. Absolutely delicious! Definitely recommend. Be aware, it’s CTC, not whole loose leaf. People in the comments don’t seem to understand the difference. CTC is naturally stronger. 1 teaspoon per cup of water is plenty.
Review: This is proper tea at a properly sensible price. High quality, delicious, recommended. - I was a bit nervous about ordering a 2 lb. packet of tea, but the price was so tempting that I threw caution to the winds, and now I'm so glad I did. At less than half the price of the UK blends I've been ordering, this large sack will go a long way, even when I'm making 1-2 quarts of tea at a time. I opened the bag and immediately portioned it out into Mason jars for long-term storage, and there wasn't an excessive amount of dust. For my first pot, I used 5 level teaspoons of tea and enough boiling water to fit a Bodum caffetière without the plunger (about 1 litre), allowed it to brew for a long time (might have been 1 hour? it was still fairly warm), then carefully poured off the tea through a fine mesh strainer, and while it's quite strong, it's not excessively bitter or astringent. Given that Indian people boil this type of tea for a long time when making chai, I felt safe letting my tea brew a long time, as is my usual practice when making tea for iced tea. In this case, I had my first mug of tea hot (I have a heated mug), and put the rest in the refrigerator. This tea is strong enough that I think for subsequent pots, I can leave out the extra teaspoon "for the pot". I'm Asian American, and American enough that I drink most of my tea as iced tea, but I also enjoy it hot, and usually take my tea with sugar and lemon. I will definitely continue to buy this tea, and I will recommend it to friends who want something much better than what comes in tea bags or sachets. This is now my pantry staple.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Where is this tea grown?**
A: All of our teas originate from the Assam region of India

**Q: Is this instant tea ?**
A: Thank you for your interest with Tea India 2lb Assam Black Tea. This is loose tea and not instant tea. If you are looking for instant tea, then please check for our other line - Tea India Chai Moments (different flavors such as Masala, Ginger Turmeric, Cinnamon, Milky etc).

**Q: Why is this priced so much higher than the company's own website, where they are $8.99 a bag?**
A: I noticed the same thing. But why should the added cost, (as one person commented) be passed on to the consumer. Also note that the price in the website is currently $13. 64. Just increased from $9.99 last month.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic CTC Black Tea! Tea Leaves Processed the "Crush-Tear-Curl" Way
*by J***Y on July 12, 2026*

I see many reviews complaining about this tea being "dust." They couldn't be more wrong! These Assam tea leaves are an example of the Crush-Tear-Curl process. They're not dust, they're tiny pellets. If you open a teabag of Yorkshire Red, you'll see something quite similar, and it tastes quite similar. To make a "proper cuppa", warm your teapot with hot water while your kettle is coming to a boil. Empty the teapot, add a Tablespoon of these black tea "pellets" and then pour full boiling water over them. The water needs to be boiling hard! Give it a stir, cover and let steep for 4-5 minutes, no longer. Pour it through a fine strainer into your mug. This will make a big mug of tea. Add milk, and sugar if you like. The milk neutralizes the tannins for a smooth, delicious cup! Enjoy!
