Imphal, October 11 2015:
Head of Lithuanian Business Mission to India, Gediminas Citukas on Sunday said that Manipur's Cymbopogon Citratus tea commonly known as CC tea is very popular in Europe though a few people in the State know it.
Gediminas Citukas said this after launching a website of CC tea www.cctea.in.
CC tea is produced by SuiGenerics Inc at Kwakeithel Lamdeng Leikai in Imphal West.
Gediminas Citukas said that the CC tea made of lemon grass is popular in Europe and people of Lithuania, Germany, Russia, France, Poland and Latvia drink it regularly.
The CC tea has become popular in Europe since about one year.
China, Sri Lanka and a few other countries are also popular for such similar teas, but Manipur's CC tea is tastier and consists nothing which is hazardous to health, added Gediminas Citukas.
SuiGenerics and Lithuanian Business Mission have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) and there is a plan to make the CC tea product available in the country.
India's Ayurvedic products are also popular in Europe, said Gediminas Citukas.
Managing Director of SuiGenerics, Ragesh Keisham said that people from around the world can now buy the CC tea product through online.
