High priced Western BOPFs lost Rs.50 to Rs.100 on quality; others were Rs.50 and more lower as the sale progressed. Hardly any Nuwara Eliya BOPs were on offer. BOPFs were firm. Well-made Udapussellawa BOPs were slightly dearer and their BOPFs gained Rs.50 and more; others about firm. Clean Uva BOP/BOPFs were firm to dearer particularly for the BOPFs. Best Medium BOPs were firm; others were irregularly lower. BOPFs maintained. CTC BP1s were firm. PF1s were lower Rs.30 to Rs.50 and more on quality.
The Leafy and Semi Leafy catalogues select best OP1/BOP1s declined substantially, whilst Best/Below best varieties too were generally easier. Teas at the lower end gained substantially. Well-made OP/OPAs in general were fully firm, whilst below best and poorer sorts gained. A range of improved below best varieties maintained following quality. Teas at the lower end maintained. (SD)
