CTC Black tea is a type of tea that is made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. Modern, mechanized methods are used to produce CTC (Crush-Tear-Curl) tea. Tea is allowed to fully oxidize before they are dried and processed, giving the tea its characteristic dark color and robust flavor. Black tea is the most widely consumed type of tea in the world and is commonly served with milk and sugar. Black tea has been found to have many health benefits, including reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke, as well as improving cognitive function.
Tea is typically packaged in tea bags for export by being placed into small, porous bags made of paper or other materials. The bags are then sealed to keep the tea fresh and protect it during transport.
