CTC

This style of manufacture has the advantage on the finished product to be a quick brewer and yielding more cups per Kg. If you are looking for strong liquor and more cups per Kg , this type of tea is highly recommended. In the export market, particularly in the Western hemisphere, where tea-bags have gained popularity, CTC teas are in demand. In addition, for the tea plantation owner, the cost of manufacture is less due to less wastage. However the CTC process does diminish the delicate natural flavours of tea. <back>
