Description
Key attributes
Crush-tear-curl processing rather than orthodox rolling, giving a granular leaf that brews dark and fast and stands up to milk and sugar. All four standard sub-grades quoted: BP1, PF1, PD and Dust.
How to buy: order a 60 g sample online to judge the grade in your own hands. For bulk, request a quote with your grade, quantity and destination; we confirm a firm price, packing, lead time and validity in writing.
The four sub-grades
- BP1 (Broken Pekoe One): the largest CTC granule, a strong, bright cup for loose retail tea and blends
- PF1 (Pekoe Fannings One): a smaller granule that brews fast, widely used in tea bags
- PD (Pekoe Dust): finer again, for strong, quick-brewing tea bags
- Dust: the smallest particle, for catering blends, tea bags and instant tea
