Description
Key attributes
Ceylon black tea made by the CTC (crush, tear, curl) method, in BP, PF and PD grades. CTC tea is mainly used in tea bags.
Supplied by Acril Holdings from Nugegoda. Price on request through the SriLankaExport trade desk.
About the grades
BP (Broken Pekoe), PF (Pekoe Fannings) and PD (Pekoe Dust) are sorted by particle size. BP is the largest of the three. PF and PD are finer and brew faster, which suits tea bag machines and quick-brewing blends. Many packers blend grades to reach the cup they want.
