Dust1 is a fine grade of Ceylon tea made from the smallest tea particles after the primary sorting of broken leaves. It consists of tiny tea dusts and fannings, which are highly fermentable and produce a strong, brisk liquor with deep color. Dust1 tea brews quickly, offering an intense and robust flavor, making it popular for making strong cups of tea, especially when combined with milk and sugar. Its small particle size allows for rapid infusion, ideal for quick brewing. Despite its fine size, it retains Ceylon tea’s rich aroma and characteristic briskness, appealing to traditional tea drinkers.
The best region to grow, harvest, and manufacture Dust1 Ceylon tea is primarily the low-grown areas of Sri Lanka, including regions like Ruhuna, Sabaragamuwa, and Uva. These areas provide the ideal climate—warm temperatures, ample rainfall, and rich soil—for cultivating robust tea plants suited to produce fine dust grades. The low-grown environment encourages faster leaf growth, ideal for the smaller particles used in Dust1. Additionally, advanced processing facilities in these regions ensure meticulous plucking, withering, rolling, fermenting, and drying, maintaining the characteristic strong, brisk flavor and deep color of Dust1 Ceylon tea.
A 1-kilogram pack of Dust1 loose Ceylon tea is carefully measured to ensure consistent weight and quality.

This packaging supports easy storage and handling while maintaining the strong, brisk characteristics of Dust1 tea. The 1kg weight offers an ideal bulk quantity for consumers and businesses, balancing convenience with long-lasting supply, making it perfect for daily use or commercial brewing in cafes and restaurants.
