CTC Black Tea
Bold. Brisk. Consistently Premium
Didwaniya Group manufactures and exports premium CTC Black Tea (Assam & Darjeeling) across a full range of CTC grades — BP, BOPSM, BOP, Dust, Fannings — meeting buyers’ needs for strong, consistent liquoring and dependable blending performance. Sourced from reputed gardens, processed under strict hygiene standards, our CTC teas deliver rich color, brisk flavor and excellent cup strength for blending, packaging and instant tea production.
CTC (Crush–Tear–Curl) Black Tea is a mechanised manufacture style that produces small, uniform granules giving a fast, strong infusion — ideal for teabags, blends and markets that prefer a full-bodied cup. Didwaniya Group’s CTC teas from Assam and Darjeeling are selected for their malty character, robust body and bright, coppery infusion. Our processing emphasizes controlled rolling and precise fermentation to retain briskness while ensuring stable shelf-life.
Assam CTC brings the classic malty, robust backbone prized in breakfast blends, while Darjeeling CTC (where available in CTC form) adds a lighter, floral-brisk top note for balanced blends. We supply a complete grade range — BP, BOPSM, BOP, Dust, Fannings — so commercial packers, blenders and retailers can choose the exact cut and strength they require.

Application
CTC Black Tea is the go-to choice for teabags, packaged black tea, instant blends and bulk blending. Its quick, strong infusion makes it ideal for milk teas and chai preparations, vending machines, and iced tea formulations. Blenders use CTC grades to achieve consistent color and body in mass-market blends, while food & beverage manufacturers rely on CTC dusts and fannings for quick extraction in powdered and ready-to-drink formulations.
Storage Condition

Keep tea in airtight, food-grade packaging or sealed containers to prevent moisture uptake and odour contamination. Rotate stock on FIFO basis to preserve freshness and cup quality.
