From April onwards Darjeeling “dust” will likely be available for sale via e-auction. I’m sure it facilitates the buying process, however since it only applies to low grade tea, it has me wondering. Is tea for teabags auctionable electronically because you don’t need to experience it? Dust is dust so to speak? I don’t know enough about this.

The Indian Tea e- Auction has its own site, however most of the information is only available to members: https://www.teaauction.gov.in/Home.aspx
