Strong CTC Tea

CTC tea refers to the method or processing black tea. CTC is the abbreviated form of the term ‘crush, tear, curl’. In this process, the black tea leaves are run though an array of cylindrical rollers that have hundreds of teeth like structures to cut or crush, tear, and curl the tea leaves. The rollers ultimately produce small, hard pellets made up of tea. The CTC method is quite different from the standard process of tea manufacturing. In this case, the tea leaves are simply rolled into thin strips. These strips are grinded and formed into powdery texture. The paper sacks, PP bags, etc. are filled with different quantities of CTC tea. This type of packaging ensures that the tea will remain fresh for a longer time.
