English term or phrase: CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl) Tea

I wonder if there is an official translation of Crush, Tear, Curl (CTC) Tea in Industry in French ?

Crush, Tear, and Curl (also Cut, Twist, Curl) is a method of processing black tea, similar to that of orthodox tea manufacture. Instead of the leaves being rolled as a final stage, they are passed through a series of cylindrical rollers with hundreds of small sharp "teeth" that crush, tear, and curl the tea.

This is widely use to designate the Assam tea and Nilgiri tea in India.

ctc (crush, tear, curl) tea à l'ancienne

Explanation:
Soit on forge quelque chose qui va même plus loin que 'couper-coller' avec trois verbes (!), soit on choisit quelque chose de plus simple qui remplacera cette notion (après un éclaircissement initial). On a le choix entre un mot qui imite le processus ('travaillé', 'froissé', 'faussé'...) et une formule qui fait référence à la méthode. Vu que vous aviez mentionné une technique orthodoxe, je propose 'à l'ancienne'.

One of several renderings of "CTC" (crush-tear-curl)

Example sentence(s):

Sir William McKercher pousse plus loin l’industrialisation de la transformation du thé en mettant au point le procédé CTC, de l’anglais crushing, tearing and curling (broyage, déchiquetage et roulage).
