Black Tea Leaves - Sri Lanka FBOP

Black tea is usually graded on one of four scales of quality. Whole leaf teas are highest quality followed by broken leaves, fanning, and dusts. Whole leaf teas are produced with little or no alteration to the tea leaf, this result in a finished product with a coarser texture than that of bagged teas, whole leaf teas are widely considered the most valuable, especially if they contain leaf tips. Broken leaves are commonly sold as medium grade loose teas. Smaller broken varieties may be included in tea bags. Fanning are usually small particles of tea leftover from the production of larger tea varieties, but are occasionally manufactured specifically for use in bagged teas. Dusts are the finest particles of tea leftover from production of the above varieties, and are often used for tea bags with very fast, very harsh brews. Fanning and dust are useful in bagged teas because the greater surface area of the many particles allows for a fast, complete diffusion of the tea into the water. Fanning and dusts usually have a darker colour, lack of sweetness, and stronger flavor when brewed.
