Assam CTC tea leaves find maximum usage in blended teas, flavoured teas, and the milk tea variant. This strain of tea, as opposed to whole leaves, is more tolerant to external agents like milk, sugar, and spices, which are used to enhance the taste of the brew. This superior tea blend in India, Assam Tea is normally made with tea granules and milk. Tea is brewed in hot water and milk is added to it when the brew boils over. Then sugar is added to taste.
