Dust 2 and Dust 3 are the off-grade dust fractions of our orthodox black tea. They are fine powders, yellow-brown rather than black, and they sell at a lower price than Dust 1. Vietnam Dust 2 Dust 3 black tea is an economical choice for strong, sweetened drinks and for extraction.
Dust 2 and Dust 3 in the cup
The fine powder infuses very quickly. The liquor is red with orange tones, and there is a floral hint in the scent. It tastes like the rest of our orthodox range: malty, brisk and citrusy, with a sweet finish and mild tannin. With milk and sugar, it still gives color and body, which is what milk tea and boba drinks need.
For all fine grades, see our tea dust buying guide. The orthodox guide and the orthodox black tea category cover the rest of the range. Ask for Dust 2 and Dust 3 samples; both are sorted at our Phu Tho and Yen Bai factories.
