Indong Tea Company Ltd., established in 1990 and converted to a public limited company in 2022, specializes in the plantation and manufacturing of CTC (crush-tear-curl) tea. Situated in the Dooars region of West Bengal, the Indong Tea Estate spans 740.38 hectares and includes a tea plantation, factory, and residential facilities. Acquired by the Asian Group in 2014, the company underwent modernization with new machinery, enhancing production yields. CTC tea, favored for its bold flavor and quick brewing, is primarily used in tea bags and Masala Chai blends. Indong Tea Company focuses exclusively on CTC production, which involves a mechanized process of shredding and curling the tea leaves, contrasting with the traditional hand-plucked Orthodox tea method. This positions the company well in the commercial tea market, particularly in India.
