loose bulk tea
this was just my argument here (in response to your elarier Q on "سايب"): http://www.proz.com/kudoz/1357113
there is packed unbagged tea, and unpacked unbranded one. yet the context you provide proves to be inconsistent since the last phrase associates "فرط" (i.e. loose bulk") with "باكيت" (packet). it happens that this term is very specific here in Egypt, when gorceries are sold "فرط" (or most commnly "فلْت/فالْت"), it means they are loose, unbranded, and unpacked. as Yasser El Helw noted above, cigarettes are the only exception, for there is no producer for unpacked cigarettes, some smokers (for many reasons) just used to buy a certain number of cigarettes.

"dust tea" is another plausible option that we didn't discuss.

Fannings
Your term refers to the size of tea particles not to the fact that it is packed or unpacked. فرط refers to مفروط , i.e., worthless destroyed remains. The فرط/بودرة
proves my point.
