The process of CTC black tea begins with leaf withering, and tea leaves wither in a trough or in a withering chamber, which lasts for 16 hours. The leaves are then oxidized and fermented for an hour and a half and then transported to the drying chamber with hot air. The goal is to reduce the moisture to about 3% and change its color from green to black. CTC tea in Kenya is divided into BP1, PF1, PD and Dust1. Their grading is based on the size of the particles. More often, these levels can also attract different markets. The larger the particle size, the smaller the density, the lighter the color and taste of the tea. The smaller the particle size is, the greater the density is, and the darker the color of the tea is, the stronger the taste is. Those who are not in the above grade are classified as Fannings.
