Premium Strong Tea Dust 1Kg

Buy Tea Dust 1kg Online — Premium Assam CTC Chai

Buy tea dust 1kg — premium Assam CTC tea perfect for the traditional Indian masala chai. Our tea dust 1kg pack contains high-quality CTC (Crush-Tear-Curl) tea granules from Assam's tea gardens, producing the rich color, strong aroma, and full flavor Indian chai lovers demand.

CTC processing differs from traditional orthodox tea — the leaves are cut, torn, and curled into small hard granules that release maximum flavor quickly. This is why CTC tea is preferred for masala chai (where you want strong flavor to stand up to milk and spices) versus orthodox tea (better for delicate flavors).

• Malty aroma — signature Assam character
• Rich amber color — visually appealing brew
• Stands up to milk — flavor not lost when added to milk

Tea Dust FAQs

What is the difference between tea dust & tea leaves?

Tea dust (also called CTC or fannings) is fine granules that release flavor quickly — ideal for chai. Tea leaves (orthodox) are longer & give delicate flavor — better for pure sips without milk.

How much tea dust for 1kg of milk chai?

For 1 liter chai (about 4 cups): use 4 teaspoons tea dust. Adjust to taste — 5-6 tsp for stronger chai.

Can I use tea dust for iced tea?

Yes! Brew strong (1.5 tsp per cup), cool, add ice, lemon, sugar. Or cold brew: 2 tbsp tea dust + 1L water in fridge overnight.

Is Assam tea caffeine-free?

No — Assam CTC tea has about 60-80mg caffeine per cup (about 60% of coffee). Choose green tea or herbal tea for caffeine-free options.

Can I resell tea from this pack?

Yes! Our 1kg pack is perfect for small cafes, tapri stalls, and family sharing. Contact us for bulk cafe orders with wholesale pricing.

Is tea dust vegan & gluten-free?

Yes. 100% vegan, gluten-free. Just pure Assam tea granules with no additives.
