F2 and F3 are off-grade fannings from our orthodox production, one step below F1. They consist of small, finely broken pieces mixed with yellow-brown particles. Vietnam F2 F3 black tea is an economical grade. It is chosen where price and a quick brew matter more than the look of the tea.
What to expect from F2 and F3 in the cup
The fine pieces brew quickly into a red liquor with orange tones. There is a fresh, slightly floral scent. Like the rest of our orthodox family, F2 and F3 taste malty and brisk, with citrus, and leave a sweet aftertaste with light tannin. The yellow-brown particles make the dry tea look lighter than F1. Their quick, brisk brew suits plain tea bags.
Our tea dust guide compares all fannings and dust grades, and the orthodox guide covers the leaf grades. See the full orthodox range or request F2 and F3 samples. What we ship matches the approved sample or is better.
