The steep meter
CTC keeps giving colour long after it has stopped giving flavour. This is where to stop, depending on how you drink it.
0:30
First colour
Leaf opens. Too thin to drink, but the aroma is at its peak here.
1:30
Light liquor
Black tea, no milk. Bright and floral, closest to the garden.
3:00
Full body
The sweet spot for milk chai. Strong enough to hold its own.
4:00
Kadak
Add ginger and elaichi here. Boil once more, then off the heat.
5:00+
Over-brewed
Tannins take over. Dark, but bitter. Past this you are boiling colour, not tea.
From the garden
Everyday strength. The one that goes in the morning pot.
A finer leaf grade. More aroma, a rounder cup.
Our top selection. Small lots, picked and packed first.
Why we started
Most tea on a shelf has been sitting for months, changing hands four or five times. Aroma is the first thing to go, and it never comes back.
We buy direct, in small lots, and pack fast. It costs us more and it limits how much we can sell at a time. It also means the tin smells right when you open it.
