CTC Tea, short for Crush, Tear, Curl, originated in Assam, India, in the 1930s as a faster, more efficient method of tea processing. It revolutionized tea production by creating uniform granules that brew quickly and release a robust, malty flavor. Our CTC Tea is made using this same time-honored technique, ensuring consistency in taste and quality. It is composed of 100% natural black tea leaves and contains no additives or preservatives.
The CTC Tea granules are deep brown with a rich aroma, and they produce a reddish-brown liquor when brewed. Highly popular across South Asia, CTC Tea is known for its invigorating strength, making it ideal for preparing masala chai and other milk-based tea beverages. Its energizing properties, combined with antioxidants and digestive benefits, make it both a comforting daily ritual and a healthy lifestyle choice.
