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.
