Premium Assam-Dooars CTC Blend (BOPSM Grade)

The Perfect Balance of Bold Strength and Velvety Smoothness

Discover the ultimate everyday tea. Our signature Assam-Dooars blend brings together the finest CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl) leaves from two of India’s most celebrated tea-growing regions. By marrying the intense, malty power of Assam with the bright smoothness of Dooars tea, we have crafted a deeply satisfying, full-bodied brew. This blend is purpose-built for those who crave a classic, kadak (strong) cup of chai that pairs perfectly with milk, sugar, and spices.

A Tale of Two Terroirs

What makes this tea truly exceptional is the geographical synergy between its two origins. Each region brings its own distinct personality to the cup:

• The Power of Assam: Grown in the lush, humid flatlands of the Brahmaputra Valley, Assam tea is world-renowned for its heavy body, dark coppery color, and deep malty flavor. It provides the robust backbone and brisk astringency that gives this blend its punchy, energizing wake-up call.

• The Elegance of the Dooars: Nestled at the foothills of the Himalayas in northern West Bengal, the Dooars region is kissed by mountain-fed streams and rich forest soils. Dooars tea is celebrated for its bright, clear liquor, sweet earthy undertones, and a remarkably smooth texture. It is noticeably brisk but lacks the sharp bite of heavier teas.

Why Blend Assam and Dooars?

While Assam brings raw power and malty depth, a pure Assam brew can sometimes be overly astringent. That is where the Dooars leaf steps in. The Dooars tea softens the intense bite of the Assam, wrapping it in a layer of smooth, rounded sweetness.

Together, they create a perfect harmony: you get the dark, rich color and high-caffeine kick of Assam, balanced by the velvety, approachable finish of Dooars. This balanced profile ensures the tea never turns unpleasantly bitter, making it the absolute best foundation for a rich morning milk tea or a spiced Masala Chai.

The BOPSM Advantage

This blend features the BOPSM (Broken Orange Pekoe Small Medium) grade, a highly sought-after classification in CTC teas. Here is why this grade makes a difference in your cup:

• Lightning-Fast Infusion: The small, uniformly granular size of the BOPSM leaf ensures water interacts with a larger surface area. This guarantees a quick, rich extraction of both color and flavor the moment it hits boiling water.

• Thick, Robust Liquor: BOPSM is prized for yielding a heavy, dark reddish-brown brew that easily cuts through milk and sugar.

• Consistent Quality: Whether you are simmering it gently or boiling it aggressively for a traditional Indian chai, the BOPSM granules hold their flavor perfectly, delivering a reliably strong cup every single time.
