red-brown color when they are boiled by the Indian method. The drawback of the CTC method is that it tends by its nature, and unfortunately by adulteration, to homogenize all black tea flavors. In the process of crushing, tearing and pelletizing the tea leaves, large pressures and stresses occur which break down the cells, releasing large amounts of the phytins that normally oxidize to produce black tea\u2019s mahogany color. Since, regardless of origin, CTC teas in their dry form are generically \u201ctea-like\u201d in aroma, very similar in pelletized form, it is very easy to adulterate a more expensive CTC-type tea with inexpensive and generally mild lowland teas of the same process. Whole and broken leaf teas by contrast are quite varied in appearance, making adulteration more difficult.<\/p><p>There is some question whether the CTC processed teas retain much (or any) of the widely referenced polyphenyls and other bio-reactive compounds that are thought to have positive herbal effects.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CTC Crush, tear, curl\u00a0(sometimes\u00a0cut, tear, curl) is a method of\u00a0processing\u00a0black tea\u00a0in which the leaves are passed through a series of cylindrical rollers with hundreds of sharp teeth that crush, tear, &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jalingatea.com\/ctc\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;CTC&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jalingatea.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/775"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jalingatea.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jalingatea.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.jalingatea.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.jalingatea.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=775"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/www.jalingatea.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/775\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":861,"href":"http:\/\/www.jalingatea.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/775\/revisions\/861"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.jalingatea.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=775"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
