CTC teas are often associated with tea bags that may be mundane to drink, but Khongea produces fine quality CTC teas from its lush green fields that are the preferred choice in certain markets. CTC teas are made differently to Orthodox or "Leaf" teas. The process that Cuts, Tears and Curls the leaf after it is rolled, produces an extra strong, thick and spicy tea. CTC teas are very popular in India where they are used in a preparation with aromatic spices to produce what we refer to as "chai". However, even without the herbs and spices, it tastes delicious on its own or with sugar, milk or cream. CTC tea is produced at Khongea throughout the year but during the months of May and June when the leaves are especially succulent, the teas are particularly thick bodied and strong.
100g loose leaf tea pouch.

Regarding my last purchase

Not to my expectations

CHANGE IN FLAVOUR IM ERAL GREY TEA

As someone who has been a customer of Glenburn Tea for over a decade, I have remarked a distinct change in the flavour of the Earl Grey that i recently ordered .
Primarily , the Tea is far "stronger" than before and the Bergamot flavour is too pronounced and chemical.

Very good

Will be ordering again and changing my old brand to this.

One of the best teas

A fantastic tea - one of the best I have found in recent years. I highly recommend it.

Excellent Flavour & Aroma.

My absolute favourite go-to tea

I discovered Glenburn's earl great a couple of months ago at a staycation and I've never looked back since. The leaf quality is top notch and the fragnance that hits you when you open the bag is undescribable. I haven't known tea addiction like this before! Moreover, I also use a spoonful brewed in a bottle of Sprite overnight, and served with a splash og gondhoraj lebu, as my go-to summer drink. The only reason I give this anything less than a 5 stars is the packaging. Earlier I was able to get my hands on the 250gm packet which has now been discontinued, much to my dismay. I run through 100gm packets in less than 3 weeks. I love an option of buying more tea for lesser price. And the same has been told to me by every person I've gotten addicted to this tea.

Great cup of first flush tea!

It's always difficult to choose tea online but I'm very happy with the last few times I bought tea online from Glenburn and it has never disappointed. Aroma and taste is how you would expect a fine first flush to be!
