CTC teas are often associated with tea bags that may be mundane to drink, but Khongea produces fine quality CTC teas from its lush green fields that are the preferred choice in certain markets. CTC teas are made differently to Orthodox or "Leaf" teas. The process that Cuts, Tears and Curls the leaf after it is rolled, produces an extra strong, thick and spicy tea. CTC teas are very popular in India where they are used in a preparation with aromatic spices to produce what we refer to as "chai". However, even without the herbs and spices, it tastes delicious on its own or with sugar, milk or cream. CTC tea is produced at Khongea throughout the year but during the months of May and June when the leaves are especially succulent, the teas are particularly thick bodied and strong.
100g loose leaf tea pouch.

Received the wrong tea

Hello,

I ordered Golden Tips, but received Glenburn Darjeeling First Flush instead.

I’d really appreciate your help in getting the tea I originally ordered. Could you please let me know the next steps?

Thanks so much, Deneane

Glenburn Darjeeling Moonshine

A lovely tea, very delicate and refreshing - and so good to get it fresh from this year's harvest. I will certainly be ordering again.

Moonshine

Seems different than the freshly picked tea I bought at the estate early April. Does the tea age, I am getting a darker brew with the tea I purchased in august

My favourite time of year

No disappointment with the 2025 season of First Flush, Glenburn is my go to for the finest teas, the Moonshine is even more special. Worth the extra every time

Wonderful Darjeeling and Chai teas! Shipped to USA

Glenburn’s Masala Chai is terrific. It has a delightful combination of spices that don’t overwhelm the tea or your palate. We highly recommend it. Also, Glenburn reliably ships its teas to the US, so you can have their chai or Darjeeling teas here.

Masala Chai

Almost the best

While this is one of the best, the Autumnal Ruby from Gopaldhara is better.

The best there is

I have tasted Darjeeling first flush from several estates and this one is by far the best one, yet. I will absolutely reorder.

Perfect for chai tea

Title says it all!

Lighter but still flavoursome

A pleasant lighter Assam flavour, perfect for any time of day.

Interesting taste

Quite pleasant, with a mixture of assam and Darjeeling flavours.

Very pleasant

An enjoyable breakfast or afternoon tea for drinking ‘English-fashion’ with milk.

First Quality tea !

This is truly…a delicious tea !

Glenburn Four Seasons Darjeeling Estate Tea

This is a nice, flavorful tea with good color. There are cheaper teas out there but Four Seasons tea beats them. We have yet to taste the other tea we ordered and I will post a review after we taste the tea.

Pure Assam Tea Bags

a scent of perfection

lovely smooth heavenly and just right in every way
except the packaging
i want the tea sachets in metal canisters not PLASTIC

the scent of tea

my order was created primarily to purchase the Breakfast version; however, while i was at it, i ordered three additional flavors.
the s/h is very expensive and i expected my tea to be stored in canisters. but no, they were in PLASTICA bags. i don't use plastic since i am a double breast cancer patient.
please consider giving the customer the option of requesting canisters instead of plastic even if that means an additional cost. nothing is more important than one's health.
your tea is my #1 absolute favorite compared to all other teas in the world no matter what country, overseas or continent.
