Nandini Goswami reports in her analysis published in Daily News and Analysis, that Indian Goverment, through India Tea Board, is pushing the tea producers to produce and export more Orthodox variety of tea. Orthodox, as we all know, is the process by which most of Darjeeling tea is produced. On the other hand, the Assam tea is mostly produced in CTC variety - CTC stands for Cut, Tear, and Curl, the process by which the tea produced is significantly bolder/stronger.
India produces the largest quantity of CTC tea, mostly for Indian consumption because the Indian Chai is typically brewed with CTC tea, and never with orthodox tea. But while CTC sells well in India, prices in India have been rather weak, and producers have been looking to exports for greater profits. But, most ex-Indian markets prefer orthodox variety to CTC and India has been loosing ground in exports to other countries such as China, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Argentina. Last year, reports Nandini, Indian tea exports fell to 180 million kgs. Nandini quotes some interesting statistics from India Tea Board…
Since India has dominant share in the CTC exports, the only way to grow Indian exports would be to increase the orthodox exports. Our own experience shows that indeed in the US CTC teas don’t sell much, as much as Orthodox teas, although CTCs do get used to a great extent in the RTD (ready to drink tea).

I was talking to my relatives back in India when I found out that Longview Highlands Tea Garden has a mishap recently. The factory of Longview Estate, completely burned down as a result of a huge fire. Fire brigade from Mirik and Siliguri were pressed into action but the factory turned into ashes before they could get there!
My Uncle Mr. R. S. Tiwari is currently overseeing the refurbishment of the entire tea plantation, and the factory was apparently undergoing major repairs. It appears that the cause of the fire was a short circuit in the electrical systems, and one reason why the blaze spread so quickly was that the factory was quite old and made of wood.
Thank fully, I learned that the engine room was saved by the factory employees, who rushed to the site in the middle of the night, to help out.
This is a major set back for Longview Tea Garden, one of the largest in the Darjeeling region, and one of my favorite places to visit. The FF seasons picking will start in March, and unless the company can get the factory up and running quickly, the estate is likely to see an impact on its production.
We carry some tea from the Longview Highlands, but I hope to have some nice new FF later but the quantity we’ll buy will depend on the demand for the tea. So, please, lets create some demand for Longview Highlands Estate tea so that we can support them in the time of their need.
The President of Jaya Teas, Dr. Madhulika Pareek, said on Friday that small businesses like Jaya Teas welcome President George W. Bush’s economic stimulus package to pull the country out of recession. “The last few weeks of turmoil in the housing sector and the decline in the stock market is a clear indication that the United States is experiencing a severe economic downturn”, said Dr. Pareek.
“Small business in United States is the economic engine of the United States, and any kind of stimulus package should contain elements specifically geared towards small business”, said Dr. Pareek. “I realize that many of our customers are hurting from this severe downturn, so today I announce an extension of our 20% discount until February 8, 2008. All tea and tea related merchandise sold on Jaya Teas website, will be available for a 20% discount, from now until February 8, 2008”, announced Dr. Pareek.
