Product Description
CTC Tea, which stands for Crush Tear Curl Tea, is a popular variety of black tea that undergoes a unique processing method involving crushing, tearing, and curling of the tea leaves. This process produces small, hard pellets which brew quickly and yield a strong, bold flavor. CTC Tea is widely preferred for making traditional Indian chai due to its rich color, robust taste, and ability to blend well with milk and spices. The method enhances the oxidation process, giving the tea a deep reddish-brown color and a brisk, astringent flavor. It is mostly produced in regions like Assam and is known for its consistent quality and strong aroma. CTC Tea is economical and convenient for mass production, making it a staple in households and tea stalls across India. It is also favored for its long shelf life and its ability to maintain flavor even after storage.
