Quality: CTC (BP 1)
Experience the bold flavor and rich color of our CTC (Cut, Tear, Curl) tea. This method of production involves carefully processing the tea leaves to create small, uniform granules, resulting in a robust and flavorful brew with a brisk, invigorating character. The "BP1" designation signifies Broken Pekoe 1, a leaf grade known for its strong, full-bodied taste and satisfying depth. Our CTC BP1 tea is perfect for those who enjoy a strong, energizing cup.
Cut, Tear, Curl (CTC) Explained
The CTC method is a modern process that efficiently produces a consistent and high-yielding tea. It's particularly well-suited for black teas and offers a quicker, more complete extraction of flavor compared to traditional whole-leaf methods. This results in a tea that is strong, consistent in flavor, and ideal for tea bags and quick brewing.
Broken Pekoe (BP) Grade Explained
"Pekoe" refers to a specific leaf on the tea plant, and "Broken" means the leaves are broken or cut. Broken Pekoe teas offer a balance of flavor and strength, often brewing up darker and faster than whole-leaf pekoes. The "1" in BP1 often indicates a higher quality within the Broken Pekoe grade.
