MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Throughout the entire manufacturing process, strict quality control measures are implemented to maintain the desired flavor, aroma, and appearance of the tea. Each step in the process contributes to the unique characteristics of the final tea product,
reflecting the craftsmanship and expertise of tea producers.
WITHERING PROCESS
After the freshly plucked tea leaves arrive at the factory, they are spread out thinly on trays or troughs in a controlled environment. This process, known as withering, allows the leaves to lose moisture naturally. Withering makes the leaves pliable and prepares them for further processing.
CTC
During the CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl) stage in tea processing, withered tea leaves are fed into a CTC machine where they undergo rapid mechanical processing. The machine crushes the leaves s to break them into smaller pieces, tears them to further fragment the leaf structure, and curls them into tight pellets or granules. This process not only aids in efficient extraction of flavors and colors during subsequent oxidation but also ensures uniformity in the final product's appearance and brewing characteristics.
FERMENTATION
the fermentation stage in the production of black tea using the CTC method refers to the oxidation process where tea leaves undergo chemical changes due to exposure to oxygen. This process is fundamental in creating the rich, robust flavors and dark color characteristic of black teas
