DUST TEA (HOTEL PACK)
A dust tea hotel pack is a commercial-grade, finely processed CTC (Crush, Tear, Curl) tea powder designed for hotels, restaurants, and tea stalls. These bulk packs (typically 1 kg) offer high cup yield, deep color, and fast infusion, making them ideal for strong milk chai. Popular brands include Eastea Grand Dust Tea and Modi Tea Premium Dust.
Key Features
- High Cuppage: Finely ground dust particles extract maximum flavor and color quickly, yielding more cups per kilogram.
- Strong Blend: Formulated to retain a robust, bold taste even when mixed heavily with milk and sugar.
- Quick Infusion: Brews in a fraction of the time compared to leaf teas, perfect for high-volume commercial service.
Common Pack Sizes & Pricing
- 1 kg Poly-pouch / Bag: Most common commercial format (prices typically range from ₹300 to ₹560 per kg depending on the brand and quality).
