Tea is normally brewed from dust in tea bag............. however coffee shops brew tea from tea dust for better taste n fragrance....................... Where can tea dust be bought?
 
You probably made some typos in your post. But on your question, you can buy tea dust from shops in Little India. It is called dust because it is the fine residue that has slipped through the process of sieving the higher grade leaves. And yes, if it is the residue of high grade leaves, it can be beautifully fragrant, and delicious.

Dust particles have higher surface areas which results in a more intense brew.

The problem is tea dust can't be re-brewed multiple times like tea leaves. Also, tea aficionados will tell you tea leaves give a better taste.

Tea dust - you can sweep them from the floor of tea factory. Tea fannings or dust are the rejects of the tea manufacturing process.

French and Japanese have more discerning taste palate for tea than the British.
The British are not tea connoisseurs, so they drink tea brewed with dust.
Singapore learnt from the British.

The British had a deep tea-drinking culture and consumed a wide variety of tea, from the finest to tea dust. Indeed, they found ways to make a decent brew out of everything in the tea making process, enabling even the common people to enjoy tea.

The French did not have a deep tea culture - only the aristocracy enjoyed it while the emerging merchant class preferred coffee.

As for the Japanese, they treated tea as sacred, partly because it was rare for them, thus giving rise to the impression of exclusivity among those who consumed tea. But it would be a stretch to say they had a more refined taste than, say, the Chinese or even the Taiwanese, who were once their subjects.
