Chota Tingrai Black Tea | Diaspora Co

TASTING NOTES

Malt Balls ∙ Orange Peel ∙ Black Walnut ∙ Barberries

This beautiful black tea, of medium strength and full flavor, is a perfect pairing for our Chai Masala, but stands up equally good on its own.

This black tea is organically farmed on Chota Tingrai, an estate in the Tinsukia region of Assam that is one of the first tea estates to be owned and operated by an Indian family in independent India. Situated in the fertile valley of Brahmaputra, a major river that connects India, Tibet and Bangladesh, the Chota Tingrai estate has found great success in organic tea management and focuses on improving soil fertility. 

CTC tea — named after a processing method known as crush, tear, curl — yields a stiff, medium-strength cup that holds up beautifully to milk and spices. It is the tea of choice for the millions of cups of chai made every day on the subcontinent.
