AVT PREMIUM CTC DUST TEA 250GM

Keralas Own Tea Company: AVT, part of the A.V. Thomas group headquartered in Kochi, has been blending and packing tea for South Indian households for decades, so this Premium CTC Dust Tea is a familiar name on Thrissur kitchen shelves. Dust Grade For Strong Brew: Dust tea is the finest CTC grade; its small particles release colour and strength quickly, giving the thick, dark kattan chaya or milk tea that Malayali families prefer over lighter leaf teas. Less Tea, More Cups: Because dust brews strong, a single teaspoon goes a long way, making the 250 g pack stretch across weeks of morning and evening tea for a family. Everyday Kerala Ritual: From the 6 a.m. cup with the newspaper to the 4 p.m. chaya with pazhampori or parippu vada, this is the tea for daily routine rather than special occasions. Brewing Tip: Boil water, add one heaped teaspoon per cup, simmer for about two minutes, add milk and sugar to taste and strain through a fine tea strainer. Store in an airtight tin away from moisture and strong smells.
