Three generations One blend

What Ganesh Tea actually is

Ganesh Tea is a strong Assam CTC chai patti made by Ganesh Premium Tea Private Limited in Mumbai, Maharashtra. CTC stands for Crush, Tear, Curl. The leaf is broken into small granules rather than left whole, which is what lets it brew fast and hold its colour and strength against milk, sugar and a hard boil.

It is not a delicate tea and it is not trying to be. It is the cup that gets made at six in the morning in a Mumbai kitchen, in a steel pot, with full-fat milk, and it has to taste like something at the end of that. Everything about the blend is chosen for that job.

Where the leaf comes from

The leaf is sourced from Assam, in India's north-east: flat river-valley plantations along the Brahmaputra, not the terraced hillsides people usually picture. Assam produces the maltiest, briskest black tea in the world, and it is the only origin that gives a milk chai the body it needs.

Why the blend has not changed

Because it does not need to, and because customers would notice. Shopkeepers reorder Ganesh without being asked. Caterers are told not to substitute it. Households buy the same pack for twenty years and complain immediately if anything tastes different. That is a constraint most brands would find limiting; here it is the entire proposition.
