CTC Tea

Strength, familiarity, and everyday ritual.

What is CTC Tea?

CTC stands for Crush, Tear, Curl — a method of tea processing that breaks tea leaves into small, uniform granules. This allows the tea to brew quickly and produce a strong, full-bodied cup.

CTC teas are widely enjoyed for their bold flavour, rich colour, and consistency — especially when prepared with milk.

Why People Choose CTC Tea

CTC tea is chosen for reliability.
 
It offers:
  • A strong, satisfying body
  • Quick brewing
  • A flavour that holds well with milk and spices
 
For many, it is not a special-occasion tea — it is the tea of daily life.
