Description
This is the highest and finest grade of black tea available: Special Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe, picked in the first “flush” of the year, when the leaves are the most tender and not yet dried by the sun.
This Assam SGTFOP1 has a full flavour, with a bit the less of the characteristic malty notes associated with Assam tea and more of the round, “golden” tones and hints of fruit (apple and pear). This is a whole-leaf tea, and the flavour unfolds as the leaves unfold during steeping. There is no bitterness, no kick, but almost a wine-like smoothness and fullness. It’s a unique experience.
Pick this tea if you’re looking for something with a smooth, amber red liquor with a full and complex flavour.
Infuse 5g or 1 teaspoon in boiling water for 3 mins.
Contains Caffeine
