CTC LEAF:  46,551 packages of  tea on offer met with a limited demand.

BROKENS/FANNINGS: Clean liquoring teas on offer met with a good demand and sold well in line with quality particularly the brighter sorts. All other descriptions saw only limited demand and met with heavy withdrawals. BLF teas were difficult of sale and withdrawals were heavy in this category.

DUST: 5,819 packages of tea on offer met with good demand. A select few clean liquoring Dusts particularly the CDs sold well at dearer rates. Remainder, mostly reprinted saw only limited demand with heavy withdrawals. Blenders lent fair support with improved interest from the Loose tea buyers.

COMMENTS: Market followed a similar trend as of last week’s sale whereby a few bright teas on offer sold well. All others which were end of season types met with a restricted demand with heavy withdrawals. Blenders were the mainstay of the market with only some support from the Loose tea buyers.

CDs were the bright feature of the sale.
