Assam Orthodox Black Tea β Moran Malt Reserve 100g | BETEAYA
If CTC is the workhorse of Indian chai, orthodox is its quieter, more considered sibling.
Β
Our Moran Malt Reserve is a second flush Assam orthodox β whole leaf, with golden tips, from a single estate we know by name. It brews into a deep amber cup with a natural malt character that doesn't need milk, sugar, or anything else to taste like something.

This is the tea for a slow Sunday morning, or for someone who has always wondered what the fuss about loose leaf is about.

Frequently asked questions
Is Assam tea stronger than Darjeeling tea?
Yes. Assam tea has a bolder, maltier flavor and higher caffeine content than Darjeeling, which is lighter and more floral. Assam is the tea most commonly used for masala chai because it holds up well to milk and spices.
How do I brew BETEAYA Classic Chai for the strongest flavor?
Add 1:1 milk and water simmer for 2-3 mins, add tea leaves and simmer for 4-5 minutes again until it reaches your preferred strength. For a stronger cup, add slightly more leaves rather than steeping longer, which can make it bitter.
Is BETEAYA tea grown and packed in one place?
Yes. All BETEAYA tea is grown, plucked, processed, and packed at our family-owned estate in Moran, Assam β nothing passes through a middleman.
How much caffeine does Assam tea have compared to coffee?
Assam tea typically has 40-70mg of caffeine per cup, compared to 80-100mg in coffee β enough for a real lift without the crash.
