granulated tea

I have discovered two store teas, that seem to be ground. I saw a tea on alink from this group that had a expensive granulated tea.( I frogot where)

the ones I have ,infuse quickly. have great color. Their taste is far better than their cost would indicate.

the Tai Mahal tea also comes in bags, so thats why its ground. It tastes better than $2.50 for 8oz.

the Akili african tea. is groun really small and is light brown. The bag states afican blak tea. I thought it might be rooibs, but its not. This is worth $4 FOR 1.76 OZ.

I guess grinding tea makes it infuse beter and be stronger.

does anyone else drink granuladed tea.?

found any good ones?

That's CTC (crush, tear, curl) tea. It's what most Indian tea drinkers, among others, drink. By the way, tea that isn't produced by the CTC process is usually called "orthodox".

I think that's basically the whole idea of CTC: more color with less leaf.

Right, I think it's unusual to put orthodox tea in teabags.
