BOP CTC BLACK TEA – STRONG TEA FOR MILK TEA AND CHAI
BOP CTC Black Tea, or Broken Orange Pekoe CTC Black Tea, is the largest granule in the CTC range. It produces a brisk, bright and strong cup with a malty profile that maintains its strength with milk and sugar. The grade is suitable for milk tea, chai, tea bags and blending applications.
1. BOP CTC Black Tea For Milk Tea And Chai
BOP CTC Black Tea is produced using the Crush, Tear, Curl process, in which tea leaves are processed into small, even granules. As the largest granule in the CTC range, BOP retains more leaf character while providing the strong brewing performance associated with CTC tea.
The dry tea consists of large, firm granules ranging from black to dark brown. Compared with smaller CTC grades such as PF and PD, the larger granules color the water somewhat more slowly during brewing.
BOP is mainly used for milk tea and chai, where its strong cup can carry milk, sugar and spices. It is also suitable for tea bags and as a blending base.

3. BOP CTC Black Tea For Tea Bags And Blending
BOP CTC Black Tea can be used in tea-bag production where even particles are required for consistent processing. The granule format releases color and strength during a relatively short steep and runs evenly on tea-bag machines.
As a blending base, BOP contributes body and a brisk, malty character to breakfast tea, Earl Grey and chai blends.
For milk tea and chai, the strong cup profile works with milk, sugar and spices. CTC grades are mainly supplied to markets in South Asia and the Middle East, including Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq and the UAE.
