DUST 1

Dust 1 tea from Sri Lanka is a fine-grade black tea produced using the CTC (Cut, Tear, Curl) method. It consists of the smallest tea particles, which brew quickly and yield a strong, full-bodied cup with a dark reddish liquor. This tea is widely used in tea bags and for making traditional spiced teas like masala chai due to its bold flavor and quick infusion.
