CTC Tea
D1 – DUST
D1 (Dust) is a fine-grade CTC tea consisting of the smallest tea particles produced during the crushing and sieving process. It brews very quickly, delivering a deep, dark color and a strong, brisk flavor. D1 tea is highly preferred for making quick, energizing cups and is widely used in tea bags and hotel blends. Its intense liquor and rich aroma make it ideal for those who enjoy a bold, full-bodied tea. Despite its fine texture, D1 maintains the essential quality and taste of premium CTC teas.
