CTC Tea vs. Black Tea: Exploring the Difference and Choosing the Best Brew

When it comes to tea, the battle between CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl) and black tea isn’t just about preference—it’s about crafting the perfect cup. CTC, often found in mass-market blends, is robust and quick to brew, offering a strong, hearty flavour. Black tea, traditionally processed and hand-rolled, provides a smoother, more nuanced profile that evolves with each steep.

Black Tea & Blending:
Black tea is a versatile base, often blended with herbs, spices, and fruits to create unique and flavourful brews. For instance, Earl Grey tea combines black tea with fragrant bergamot oil, offering a bold yet refreshing cup. Black tea also blends seamlessly with cinnamon, cloves, and ginger for spicy chai or with dried fruits for a more floral, aromatic infusion. Its deep, robust nature allows for endless creativity, making it a favourite among tea drinkers who appreciate both tradition and innovation.

Whether you’re drawn to the boldness of CTC or the refined elegance of black tea, each cup offers a unique experience. With Teavaasi, every sip is an invitation to explore the richness of flavors and the artistry behind each blend.
