A Sip of Tradition: Why Indian CTC Tea Still Rules the Cup

 racing toward modern trends, there’s one thing that hasn’t changed much over the decades — the deep-rooted love Indians have for tea. Whether it’s the first cup that kickstarts our day or the evening chai that fuels conversations, tea is more than just a beverage — it’s a feeling. And at the heart of this emotion lies CTC tea — strong, bold, and perfect for the Indian palate.

But what makes CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl) tea so special?

Unlike orthodox teas that are delicately rolled, CTC tea is machine-processed, giving it a granular texture. This process allows it to release a robust flavor and a dark, rich color — ideal for brewing that perfect cup of chai with milk and sugar. The punch it delivers is unmatched, which is why millions of homes across India prefer it over other varieties.

At Rangbagh Tea, we celebrate this legacy.

Sourced directly from high-quality estates and crafted with passion, our premium CTC tea brings you the perfect balance of strength and aroma. We believe that good tea doesn’t just warm your body — it should awaken your spirit. That’s why every leaf we pack is chosen to ensure freshness and bold flavor in every sip.

But tea is not just about taste. It’s also about connection.

Think about it — how many memories have been made over chai? From family gossip sessions to neighborhood catch-ups, roadside tapris to office breaks, chai has quietly been at the center of them all. It’s in these moments that tea becomes more than a drink — it becomes a companion.

And while the world experiments with green teas, iced teas, and fusion blends, CTC chai continues to dominate because of one simple truth: it speaks to the Indian soul.

Here at Rangbagh, we understand that tea is both personal and cultural. That’s why we’re committed to quality, tradition, and that unmistakable kadak taste. Whether you’re running a busy household, managing a small tea stall, or just enjoying a quiet moment alone — a cup of Rangbagh Premium CTC Tea fits right in.

So the next time you brew a cup, take a moment. Inhale the aroma. Feel the warmth. Taste the heritage.

Because every sip of Rangbagh Tea is a sip of India.
