Assam (FBOP)
F.B.O.P (Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe) is a high quality grading of broken black tea leaves.
The Assam plateau in the Northeast of India is situated on both sides of the Brahmaputra River and is the largest contiguous tea-growing area in the world. Here, some 2,000 gardens produce strong, powerful and spicy teas. The region’s premium teas seduce connoisseurs with their characteristic malty flavor. Assam teas are often used in strong blends such as English Breakfast.
Lovers of strong, flavorful black teas will like this rough, broken Assam with its golden tips and a dark, creamy cup. A very stimulating breakfast tea.
