Our black tea is processed with two different methods either Orthodox or CTC (crushing, tearing, curling). The orthodox method begins with withering, rolling, fermentation (enzymatic oxidation), drying, and sorting. This method is carried out in order to produce tea in form of tea leaves.

The CTC process is done through the same steps as orthodox method but with shorter withering duration around 8-11 hours. The CTC method is usually used to produce tea in form of tea bags. Our Orthodox and CTC black tea has many different grades like Broken Pecko, Fanning, Dust, etc. The full list with details can be seen in our product catalog.
