Unsorted Tea Vs Unnecessary Sorting and Handling	Too much manual handling of tea after it has been manufactured in the factory reduces its natural Darjeeling flavour. In the manufacturing process, as the tea comes out of the Dryer’s Mouth, we pack it immediately with minimum handling and sorting. The packs are then sealed and made ready for dispatch.
