CTC Tea
PD – PEKOE DUST
PD (Pekoe Dust) is a popular CTC tea grade made up of fine particles slightly larger than regular dust. It brews rapidly, producing a bright, strong, and full-bodied liquor with a rich aroma. PD tea is commonly used in tea bags and blends designed for quick preparation and a bold taste. Its brisk flavor pairs well with milk and sugar, making it ideal for everyday consumption. Known for consistency and strength, PD remains one of the most sought-after grades in both local and export tea markets.
