Let’s explore the difference between CTC and Darjeeling leaf tea?☕ Also, let’s understand what makes Darjeeling Tea so expensive?
Crush, tear, curl (CTC)🍵is a method of processing black tea in which the leaves are passed through a series of cylindrical rollers with hundreds of sharp teeth that crush, tear, and curl the tea into small, hard pellets. This tea is mostly consumed by adding milk and sugar. This tea is mostly made in the plain areas of Assam and West Bengal in North India and in South India.
Darjeeling Tea refers to the teas that are grown in the hilly areas of Darjeeling District. The plain areas of Darjeeling district continue to make CTC teas. These teas are mostly made by machines where the processing is very minimal preserving most of the characteristics of the plucked leaf. Sometimes the teas are even hand-rolled and sometimes just dried. These teas are generally whole leaf teas which are mostly consumed in their pure form without adding milk and sugar.
There are some points which will clear your doubts and will help you to distinguish between both the teas.
