Assam black tea from the Hathikhuli Estate. Malty, hearty, satisfying.

Extra Info:

STGFOP-S stands for Super Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe - Special. This is one of the highest grades in the Indian tea grading system, signifying a tea of exceptional quality.

In this context, each letter and term denotes a particular quality:

  • "Super" is an added prefix to denote extraordinary quality.
  • "Tippy" refers to the inclusion of abundant tips - the unopened buds of the tea plant, which are highly prized for their rich flavor.
  • "Golden" signifies that the tips have a golden hue, a characteristic of high-grade teas.
  • "Flowery" suggests the presence of larger leaves and an elegant leaf style.
  • "Orange Pekoe" (pronounced 'peck-oh') is a term traditionally used to describe a whole, unbroken leaf. Contrary to common misconception, it does not refer to orange flavor or color.
  • "Special" is an infrequent suffix, signifying a tea that goes beyond the standard quality parameters of its grade.

Brewing Instructions:

Bring filtered or spring water to 212°F. Add 1 tsp of tea leaves to an 8oz cup. Pour boiling water over the tea leaves and let steep 4 minutes.

Ingredients:

  • Organic Black Tea

Origin:

Hathikhuli Estate, Assam, India
