PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Plantation Grade Black Tea (also known as Planning Grade) refers to a commercial blend of various black tea leaf grades produced directly at the plantation level. Unlike premium single grades such as BOP or Dust, Plantation Grade tea is coarser, more economical, and designed for large-scale consumption. It provides a balanced infusion with medium strength, moderate briskness, and acceptable liquor color, making it suitable for blending, value-brand tea bags, or catering services where cost-effectiveness is important.
