Q. What is the difference between CTC tea and orthodox tea?

Answer

The traditional method of preparing tea referred to as "orthodox" or "handmade" is what gives this beverage its name. To produce huge volumes of black tea with the use of machines CTC or Crush Tear and Curl was invented. Since human resources are limited and the production time is substantially faster than utilizing the Orthodox method of making tea this is done mostly for speed and cost reasons.
