Country of Origin: India
Region: Assam
More...
The Assam region in north-east India is the world's largest tea growing region. The tea is known for its full flavor without being overly tannic and is an important ingredient in popular "breakfast" blends. The TGFOP (Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe) is a reference to the larger size of the leaf that is rolled lengthwise (Orange Pekoe - pronounced "pek-oh") and the fact that the tea contains some of the golden tips of the tea leaf. The tips have a mellowing effect on the tea which gives a smoother flavor while maintaining the classic briskness of the Assam.
This tea is from the Manohari estate in the Upper Assam region at an elevation of about 390 feet above sea level. This tea has a beautifully smooth malty flavor with notes of both citrus and cocoa. Recommended steep time is 4-5 minutes.
