{"title":"Goodleaf","description":"\u003cp\u003eGoodleaf is a tea label we carry for its premium CTC, the style of black tea most Indian, Pakistani and East African households use for chai. CTC stands for crush, tear, curl, a machine process that rolls the leaf into small, hard granules which release colour and strength quickly in boiling milk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Goodleaf line sits in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/loose-leaf-tea\"\u003eloose leaf tea\u003c\/a\u003e collection, part of the wider \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tea\"\u003etea\u003c\/a\u003e range in the tea, coffee and drinks department.

Bring water to the boil with crushed cardamom, ginger or a cinnamon stick, add the tea and let it bubble for a minute, then add milk and sugar and simmer until it rises twice. For a stronger brew, use more leaf and less water, and for doodh patti, boil the leaf directly in milk with almost no water at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep CTC tea in an airtight tin or jar away from moisture and strong smells, and pour a working amount into a smaller caddy so the big pack stays sealed.
