From the Dirial estate in Dibrugarh, Assam This TGFOP (Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe) has a bright, medium-strong malty flavour.
Preparation: Use approximately 1 heaped teaspoon per cup. Pour over freshly boiled water and cover. Leave to stand for 3-4 minutes. Dispose of the used tea leaves.
Use with a tea strainer or tea pot to avoid the mess.

I did not know what to expect. Attractive name and indeed, a nice tea although the flowery element seems hidden – or perhaps too subtle.

Flowery Orange Pekoe is a great everyday tea – flavoursome and fragrant. Plain enough in flavour not to offend PGTips drinkers, complex enough to interest coffee drinkers. I also love Keemun, but many friends and family find it too smoky, so FOP has become my default tea.

I buy ten kilos a year of this tea.
Nee I say more!
I used to have Keemun as my regular tea, and I still love that too, but FOP is more of an all rounder, appreciated by everybody as a good, straightforward, flavourful standard.

a kilo a month for the past several years… (the name is misleading though, its not flowery tasting..)

This batch of FOP is perfect. The last batch had been much more powdery, and less rich to use and I mentioned it too you when I got it.. I love having the proper leaves back – evidently my comments didn’t fall on deaf ears. This is a really great everyday tea, and the leaf size rally does matter!

An excellent blend for ordinary use.

We have been enjoying this tea having changed from Kenyan Highland which seemed to have altered its flavour and the texture of its leaves

I started buy my tea from pumphreys two years ago. They are actual leaves instead of the dust swept off the floor. The quality and flavour of this tea is the best I have had. Just like the tea my granny gave us. It is very refreshing and doesn’t go tanny… it also makes a fantastic ice tea in the summer and with mint and a little gin, it does very well in the summer evenings too.
I highly recommend it.

Its just the best tea – I love other flavours too, but this one is great as an everyday tea-flavoured tea… suits pretty much everybody

This tea is the full leaf and full of the round flavour I love. It just tastes the way tea should taste.
