Grade FBOP (Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe) A tremendous tea with an excellent malty character and a bright flavorful golden liquor. This is an easy to enjoy leafy 2nd flush Assam.
In this area rainfall is lower which makes the bushes grow more slowly, the soil is sandy volcanic and because of the slightly higher altitude the temperatures are cooler- all conditions which are perfect for outstanding tea. This well-made orthodox leaf tea produces a full bodied and flavorful cup. You might ask - What gives Assam tea its special characteristics? The Assam valley is dominated by the Brahmaputra River - a large slow meandering river which over a millennium of fall flooding has deposited a rich loam over the valley. The soil is deep and sandy and the region suffers a very hot and steamy monsoon season, but equally important a relatively dry and cool winter. |
