Dear Sir/Madam:
We would hereby wish to introduce our above company as detailed hereunder:

We are licensed and participate and buy Tea in weekly auctions held in Mombasa, Kenya on Mondays and Tuesdays.
We have knowledge, manpower, quality of service and excellent reputation.
TYPES OF TEA
Tea grading is one of the most complicated and misunderstood subjects. It is often misunderstood because of number factors.
Fanning 1(F1) Forms about 3 to 4% of the production. This is a mixture of black tea and large amount of smallish cut fibres often sifted out of the primary grades. The teas are quite useful in tea bags due to its quick brewing, strong flavour and good colouring qualities.
CTC (CUT, TEAR CURL)
PRIMARY GRADES
Broken Pekoe 1(BP1) Forms about 12 to 14% of the total production and has the largest size particles. Liquors are light in colour but have an encouraging flavouring characteristic.
Pekoe Fanning 1(PF1) Forms the bulk of the production about 58 to 60% and made up of black grainy particles slightly smaller than the BP1.
Pekoe Dust (PD) Forms 10 to 12% of the production, often black and finer than the PF1 and has thick liquors and aroma.
Dust 1(D1) Forms about 4 to 6% of the production and is made up of the smallest particles and characterized by strong liquors.
SECONDARY GRADES
Dust (D) Made up of tiny bits of broken leaf often used to brew strong tea.
Broken Mixed Fanning (BMF) Fibrous lots with very little trace of black teas.
