Tea grades and leaf styles can help you predict how a tea will brew, but they are easy to misunderstand. A long string of letters on a black tea packet, a vendor’s praise for whole leaf, or a low price on a box of broken tea can sound like a ranking of worth. In practice, grades are closer to shop-floor language. They describe size, appearance, pluck, sorting, and intended use more than they describe whether a cup will please you.
