Cooking tips

How to brew the perfect cup of black tea

Steep 1 teaspoon black tea with 8 ounces just boiling water for 2 to 4 minutes. Enjoy black or add milk and the sweetener of your choice.

Make tea-infused, cream-based desserts.

Steep 1½ teaspoons black tea per 1 cup of hot milk or cream for 30 minutes to 1 hour, cool, and use in custards, ice creams, and more.

Try tea-infused shoyu eggs.

Use strongly brewed black tea instead of water in your favorite shoyu-marinated eggs.

Add to BBQ rubs & seasonings.

Use in place of ground coffee in spice blends for smoked meats.

story_image

This medium-strength, full-flavor black tea comes from Chota Tingrai, a family-run tea garden in Tinsukhia, Assam. It is located in the fertile valley of Brahmaputra, a major river that connects the lands of India, Tibet, and Bangladesh.

story_image

Chota Tingrai was the first tea estate to be owned and operated by an Indian family in independent India. Today, it is among the few that remain independently run; due to the heavy expense of maintenance, most tea estates today are owned and managed by corporate organizations.

story_image

The estate is certified organic, and also works with small tea-growers in Assam to improve their tea cultivation through natural methods. They prioritize closed-loop systems that use available resources to nurture biodiversity, boost soil fertility, and make delicious tea.

story_image

For Diaspora, Chota Tingrai makes CTC black tea, named after a processing method known as crush, tear, curl. It yields a medium-strength cup that pairs beautifully with our Chai Masala, but also makes a soothing cup of tea by itself.
