Why is Assam CTC preferred for milk chai and commercial tea packaging?
Assam CTC black tea is renowned for its high polyphenol density, deep reddish-amber liquor coloration, and distinctive malty pungency. The granular crush-tear-curl cut extracts rapidly, releasing full-bodied briskness and tannins that retain robust flavor and rich color even when mixed with whole milk and spices.
What Assam CTC cuts are available for bulk container export?
We export primary cuts including Broken Pekoe (BP) and Broken Orange Pekoe (BOP), fannings cuts including Pekoe Fannings (PF) and Orange Fannings (OF), and fine extraction grades including Pekoe Dust (PD) and Dust (D). We supply both estate-marked invoices and customized commercial consistency blends.
What container payload can be loaded for Assam CTC tea?
Assam CTC has a high bulk density (typically 380 to 450 g/L). Container payload depends on tea density, packing configuration, and carrier/road-weight limits (indicatively ~10 to 12.5 MT for 20ft GP and ~20 to 24.5 MT for 40ft HC). Sacks are bulk multiwall paper sacks with food-grade liner, configured to buyer specification.
How does Byahut ensure batch consistency across successive container shipments?
Our Siliguri tasting lab evaluates garden invoices by sensory cupping (ISO 3103 protocol), mechanical sieve particle distribution tests, and moisture analysis. We maintain retained reference samples for every commercial program to replicate the exact organoleptic curve across successive deliveries.
