Kolkata: Last week, the CTC teas at the North India tea auction centres at Kolkata, Siliguri and Guwahati saw a good demand, according to J. Thomas & Company Pvt Ltd. The prices showed a slight easing following quality.
The major blenders continued to operate strongly while other internal segments too remained active. Dust grades appreciated.
Orthodox teas also saw a good demand at around last levels with smaller brokens and fannings being firm to occasionally dearer.
There was good support from the CIS countries with a fair amount of interest from West Asia.
