Frequently Asked Procurement Questions
What is the difference between CTC and Orthodox black tea processing?
CTC stands for 'Crush, Tear, Curl'—a mechanical manufacturing method that processes withered tea leaves into uniform granular pellets. CTC brews rapidly into a deeply colored, brisk, pungent cup with high cuppage, making it the global standard for teabags, chai, and breakfast blends. Orthodox tea is gently rolled to preserve intact whole leaves, yielding lighter, nuanced floral and muscatel flavor notes.
Which growing regions do your teas originate from?
Our teas originate from certified estates in Assam (celebrated for rich malty density) and the high-altitude misty slopes of Munnar in the Western Ghats of Kerala (known for bright, brisk liquor and fresh mountain aroma).
How is bulk tea packaged to preserve freshness and aroma across maritime corridors?
Bulk tea is packed in specialized 4-ply or 5-ply multi-wall export paper sacks incorporating a laminated aluminum foil and food-grade poly barrier. This hermetically seals the tea against ambient humidity, preventing loss of volatile aromatics and staling.
Can you provide custom blends tailored to specific market taste profiles?
Yes. Our professional tea tasters work with wholesale buyers and packaging brands to create custom blend ratios combining Assam briskness with Munnar color to hit target cuppage, price points, and sensory profiles.
