Crush, Tear, Curl (CTC) is a tea processing method in which tea leaves are crushed, torn, and rolled into small, uniform granules. This technique helps produce tea with a strong flavor, rich color, and brisk aroma. CTC tea is widely used in tea bags, instant tea preparations, and traditional milk tea blends. Its quick brewing time, consistent quality, and bold taste make it a popular choice for everyday tea consumption and commercial tea products.
