Diamond CTC Chai
About This Tea
Diamond CTC Chai by Brew Your Sip sets the gold standard for everyday Indian chai. Sourced from the finest Assam tea gardens and double-processed using the CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl) method, these small, tightly rolled pellets infuse rapidly — releasing a full-bodied, malty liquor with a signature copper-red colour that forms the backbone of a perfect glass of milk chai.
What separates Diamond from other CTC teas is its grade. Sourced from gardens that follow strict harvesting protocols, the leaves are picked at optimal maturity to ensure maximum briskness, strength, and aroma. The double-processing technique intensifies the flavour extraction, meaning you get a stronger, bolder cup even at standard dosages. This is the tea that tea-stall owners in Kolkata swear by — and the same grade Brew Your Sip now brings directly to your home.
Whether you brew it strong with full-cream milk and two spoons of sugar, or keep it light with a splash of milk, Diamond CTC Chai delivers consistently. It is ideal as a morning energiser, post-meal digestive, or an afternoon pick-me-up. No bitterness, no astringency — just a clean, powerful chai that satisfies every time.
Each 250g pouch yields approximately 60–70 cups. Available in 250g and 1kg pouches.
How to Brew: Add 1 tsp (3g) to 150ml water. Bring to a boil, add 100ml milk. Simmer for 2 minutes, strain and serve. Adjust milk ratio to preference.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Why is it called Diamond CTC?
- Diamond refers to the premium grade — this is a higher-quality CTC leaf than standard commercial grades, with better briskness, colour, and aroma.
- How strong is Diamond CTC compared to regular tea bags?
- Significantly stronger. Loose-leaf CTC has 3–5x the surface area of a dust-grade tea bag and no paper barrier, delivering a fuller, bolder brew.
- Can I use Diamond CTC for masala chai?
- Absolutely. Its bold body makes it one of the best bases for masala chai, holding up against strong spices like ginger and cardamom.
- Is it suitable for kadak chai lovers?
- Yes — this blend is specifically designed for those who want a strong, brisk, full-cream milk chai experience.
- What is the shelf life?
- 18 months from pack date when stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The resealable pouch maintains freshness.
CTC Chai — The Backbone of India
Crush, Tear, Curl — a mechanical process that creates small, uniform pellets which brew fast and strong. The backbone of Indian chai.
CTC's bold tannins cut through milk perfectly, creating a rich, full-bodied cup that holds its character even with sugar.
The Brahmaputra valley's warm, humid climate and rich alluvial soil produce tea with naturally malty, robust character.
Over 80% of India's tea consumption is CTC. It's not just tea — it's a daily ritual for over a billion people.
