In a world that constantly evolves, there's a certain charm and timelessness in traditions. One such tradition that continues to captivate tea enthusiasts worldwide is Orthodox Tea. Steeped in history and celebrated for its distinctive flavors, Orthodox Tea offers a sensory journey that transcends the ordinary.
In this blog post, we delve into the rich tapestry of Orthodox Tea, exploring its benefits and how we at Grassroots Tea Corporation Private Limited are intricately woven into this exquisite tradition.
The Essence of Orthodox Tea:
Orthodox Tea, often referred to as "artisanal tea," embraces a meticulous, time-honored process that involves handpicking the finest tea leaves. Unlike its counterpart, CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl), which is more mechanized, Orthodox Tea production emphasizes the preservation of the leaf's integrity. The leaves are skillfully rolled, preserving their natural form and allowing for a fuller, more nuanced flavor profile.
The Benefits of Orthodox Tea:
Rich Flavor Palette: Orthodox Tea is renowned for its complex and rich flavors. The careful processing methods enhance the natural taste of the leaves, resulting in a cup that is both robust and nuanced.
Nuanced Aromas: The orthodox method allows the leaves to retain essential oils, imparting a diverse range of aromas. From floral and earthy to fruity notes, each cup is a sensory adventure.
Health Benefits: Orthodox Tea is believed to retain higher levels of antioxidants and polyphenols due to its less-processed nature. These compounds contribute to various health benefits, including improved heart health and a strengthened immune system.
