Export-Ready FAQ

What is the difference between CTC and Orthodox tea?

CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl) produces small, uniform pellets that brew a strong, dark cup very quickly. Orthodox tea is gently rolled to preserve whole leaves, producing a lighter, vastly more complex flavor profile.

Do you provide tea tasting notes?

Yes, we can provide professional cupping notes, liquor color, and flavor profiles for all bulk shipments to help buyers match exact blending requirements.

Is your tea authenticated?

Our teas are sourced directly from registered estates. Darjeeling exports specifically carry the official Tea Board of India certification mark to guarantee authenticity.
