Sri Lanka produce a lot of CTC teas. In domestic market CTC tea is the
most popular one because local people like strong, robust cup.

Jim already mention about some grades BOP, FBOP and OP. Actually BOP
is not a orthodox grade, this grading system is for CTC tea-
BOP(Broken Orange Pekoe) This BOP teas are granular teas.
