Is “In”
“The mere fact that India is going CTC on such a large scale (and is being imitated in Africa and elsewhere) may be good reason for Ceylon to stick to her present methods so long as there continues to be a brisk demand for orthodox leaf in many of the world’s markets. Orthodox manu facture itself is, of course, capable of improvement. In Assam the CTC process {cut, tear and curl) is producing enormous quantities of the small size leaf needed for the “quick brew” blends which are in fashion among the big London packets today. However such experiments as have been made have not confirmed the suitability of the process to Ceylon con ditions—at any rate in the up country”.—From “A Hundred Years of Ceylon Tea, 1867- 1967.”
