The Chinese hybrid variety grown here produces a very pale liquor, which is the reason why Kangra does not produce any CTC (crushed, turned, curled) tea—the staple tea of India. Following this walk will be a visit to the Tea Factory to understand the nuances of making that perfect cup of green tea followed by a detailed tea tour organized by host.
