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.

Second flush tea

Very good

Glenburn First Flush tea (2026)

I bought this tea from Glenburn Tea Estate during my recent tour there in May'26. I liked the flavour so much that I placed a repeat order for the same online. I hope I'll enjoy the same flavour from this packet too.

Nice tea to make masala chai

GOOD AROMA

Tea infuser

Excellent quality daily use product. Hassle free for multiple steeping and easy to clean.

Glenburn love affair continues🤗

Loving the first flush. Be it to kick start my day - for that fresh awakening. Or any time of the day - for that mild rejuvenation. Thank you Team for your work.

Elegantly subtle

The taste is elegant. The palatable texture is subtle and smooth. And in my opinion slightly less mouthful in terms of persistence of the taste. However, I really enjoy it. I my give a marks of 8.5/10.

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.
