CTC Broken Black Tea Yunnan 100g Milk Tea Lemon Tea

CTC Broken Black Tea — Yunnan 100g

Bold, rich, and built for blending. This CTC broken black tea is produced at the Dadugang Tea Factory in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province — one of China's premier tea-growing regions. CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl) processing creates tight, granular particles that release flavor rapidly and thoroughly, producing a brilliant red liquor with a sharp, thick aroma and a strong, satisfying taste. The perfect base for milk tea, lemon tea, or fruit tea blends.

Broken black tea is the staple of the international tea market, accounting for approximately 80% of global tea exports. This CTC variety is especially well-suited for tea bags and mixed preparations — add milk, sugar, lemon, apple, or kumquat for a distinctive, layered flavor experience.

How to Brew

Simple Milk Tea Method (porcelain cup, milk, sugar, 95°C water):

1. Pour about 1/3 boiling water (95°C) into the cup.
2. Add the tea bag; stir up and down for 1–2 minutes, then remove.
3. Add milk to taste.
4. Add sugar and stir gently.

Tip: Always add water first, then the tea bag — this prevents the cotton label from being flushed into the cup and preserves the flavor.

Also pairs well with: lemon, apple, kumquat, or fruit for a distinctive blended flavor.
