CTC Tea
D2 – DUST 2
D2 (Dust 2) is a fine-grade CTC tea composed of very small tea particles collected after the main dust grades. It brews quickly, producing a deep-colored, strong, and robust liquor ideal for quick-service tea preparation. D2 is commonly used in tea bags and economical blends due to its intense flavor and rapid infusion. Despite its finer texture, D2 retains the distinct aroma and briskness of quality black tea, making it popular among consumers who prefer a bold, full-bodied cup of tea.
