Assam CTC vs. Dooars CTC Sourcing
Understanding regional cup chemistry is essential for optimizing price-to-quality performance in commercial tea packaging.

Grown in the rich alluvial soils of the Brahmaputra valley. Characterized by distinctive malty undertones, heavy liquor density, deep reddish-amber cup color, and sharp astringency that withstands heavy milk addition. Procured via direct garden invoices and the Guwahati Tea Auction Centre (GTAC).
Dooars CTC Black Tea
Cultivated in the sub-Himalayan floodplains adjacent to Siliguri. Renowned for intense darkness in the cup, rapid brew infusion, high cup yield, and cost-effective commercial pricing. Sourced directly through Siliguri Tea Auction Committee (STAC) and Terai regional gardens.
