DUST: 13,116  packages of  tea  on offer met with a fair demand. Good liquoring Dusts were irregular and sold at easier levels. Mediums sold well at around last levels. Plain/BLF Dusts were an easier market and also saw fair withdrawals.  Blenders lent strong support with fair interest from the Loose tea buyers.

COMMENTS: There was much less competition in this week’s sale whereby prices declined over last by a fair margin especially from the second half of the sale. Blenders were the main operators of the sale but held lower limits whilst there was less interest from the Loose tea buyers. As a result, prices declined and there were more withdrawals.

Dusts were an easier market.
