Consisting of fine, almost powdery particles gathered from the final stages of the CTC process, Dust 2 is the epitome of efficiency and strength. Its minute surface area allows for near-instant infusion, producing a remarkably brisk, robust, and dark liquor. While its intensity is best suited for a single, powerful steeping, its consistency makes it […]

Consisting of small tea particles and fine leaf fragments, this grade is characterized by its distinct coarse texture. As a premium secondary grade, F1 is essential for tea bag production, yielding a deep, vibrant liquor. It steeps rapidly to deliver a consistently bold and robust infusion.

Representing 4-6% of total production, this is the finest grade in the CTC leaf classification. It delivers a robust, full-bodied brew, perfect for those seeking a powerful caffeine boost.

PD accounts for approximately 10–12% of CTC production and consists of very fine, dark particles that are smaller than the PF1 grade. It is known for producing thick, pungent liquors with strong, intense flavors. This grade brews rapidly, yielding bold infusions, and is commonly used in tea bags due to its quick extraction.

PF1 makes up the bulk of production (approximately 58–60%) and consists of fine, granular black particles that are slightly smaller than BP1. It is known for its strong, robust, and brisk flavor profile, offering a well-balanced cup. This grade typically produces quick, bold infusions and adds a distinctly powerful edge to tea blends.

BP1 is distinguished by its notably large particles, delivering a bold and robust tea experience. With its sizeable leaf and rounded granules, this grade produces a full-bodied infusion rich in flavor and characterized by a bright, appealing liquor. It is an excellent choice for those who prefer a strong and satisfying cup of tea.
