CTC Tea

CTC Tea is designed for rapid infusion and reliable color development, making it suitable for teabags, hospitality service, and blending where quick extraction is required. The following sections summarize technical markers and procurement considerations.

Technical Specifications & Grading

• Leaf Type: CTC-processed granules optimized for quick brew and strong color.
• Cup Profile: Rapid infusion, dark liquor, and pronounced strength suitable for milk-based preparations.
• Processing: CTC mechanical processing to standard granule distribution for uniform extraction.
• Stability: Low-moisture packing targets to retain extraction properties and prevent clumping.
• Packing Format: Teabag-ready blends, retail pouches, and bulk cartons.

Bulk Supply & Logistics Terms

• MOQ / Pack Options: Teabag blends and retail pouches supported; confirm dosing and bag-counts for filling equipment.
• Lead Time: Lead windows reflect processing and pack-changeover scheduling; sample approval recommended.
• Supply Capacity: Scalable volumes to match production packaging requirements.
• Logistics/Cold-Chain: Ambient-stable; pack with moisture control measures for long shipments.
• Packaging Engineering: Dosing accuracy and hermetic barrier films advised for teabag and retail formats.

Applications and Buyer Fit

• CTC Tea fits teabag production, hospitality quick-brew service, and manufacturers needing a fast-extracting base for beverages.
• It supports high-throughput filling lines and offers dosing predictability for blend formulations.

Selection Guidance

• Confirm granule size and extraction rate during sampling.
• For teabag runs, align bag counts and dosing tolerances with packing equipment.
• Specify barrier packaging to preserve extraction behavior.
