Flathead Vanilla (4-oz tin)

Description

A finer CTC-cut tea for faster, deeper steeping. This is a good solid black tea with intense vanilla flavoring. The abbreviation “CTC” stands for “Crush, tear, curl” and is a method of processing black tea in which the leaves are passed through a series of cylindrical rollers with hundreds of sharp teeth that crush, tear, and curl the tea into small, hard pellets. Thus making for a finer granularity of tea for faster, and deeper steeping. Note that this finer granularity will require a finer tea strainer or tea bag.  The resulting tea leaves more closely resemble espresso coffee than your typical dried tea leaves. We recommend our #2 Tea Sacks for this. This is a 4-ounce resealable tin of loose tea leaves.
