Platina CTC Chai
About This Tea
Platina CTC Chai by Brew Your Sip is a premium-grade Assam CTC tea for those who demand more from their daily cup. The Platina grade is sourced from select Assam estates where the tea bushes are grown at optimal altitude and harvested at peak flush — producing a leaf that is distinctly bolder and more aromatic than standard CTC blends available in the market.
What makes Platina truly distinctive is the subtle infusion of natural saffron notes. Saffron — one of the world’s most precious spices — adds a delicate warmth and an unmistakably luxurious character to the brew. The result is a full-bodied, copper-red chai with a smooth, malty base and a gentle floral undertone that lingers pleasantly after each sip.
This is a tea built for strong milk chai. Brew it with full-cream milk and the saffron notes bloom beautifully, transforming your everyday ritual into something special. No artificial colours, no flavour enhancers, no preservatives — just premium Assam CTC with natural saffron, ethically sourced and freshly packed at Brew Your Sip’s Kolkata facility.
Each 250g pouch yields approximately 50–60 cups. Available in 250g and 500g resealable pouches.
How to Brew: Add 1 tsp (3g) to 150ml water. Bring to a boil, add 100ml milk. Simmer for 2–3 minutes, strain and serve. For saffron notes to shine, use full-cream milk.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does saffron add to CTC chai?
- Natural saffron adds a delicate floral warmth and a golden undertone to the brew. It elevates the standard CTC experience into something distinctly premium without overpowering the tea’s natural malty character.
- Is the saffron artificial?
- No. Only natural saffron notes are used. No artificial colours, flavours, or enhancers of any kind.
- How is Platina different from Diamond CTC?
- Diamond is a bold, pure Assam CTC for maximum strength. Platina is a step up in refinement — similar strength but with natural saffron notes and a smoother, more aromatic character.
- Can I brew Platina as black tea without milk?
- Yes. Brew 1 tsp in 200ml water for 3 minutes without milk. The saffron notes are more pronounced in black tea form.
- What pack sizes are available?
- Platina CTC Chai is available in 250g and 500g resealable pouches. Larger packs offer better value per cup.
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.
