Tea Grades

It always seems a bit of a mystery as to how teas are graded. A bunch of letters, some fancy sounding adjectives...here's the trick. Usually each major tea producing country has it's own grading system, hence the confusion. The only consistent one is black tea- can't go wrong with some good old Lipton dust!

Here's a good site to alleviate the confusion. Keep in mind many major businesses/cooperations will make their own mash of these grades for simplicities sake.
