Flowery Orange Pekoe

An excellent blend for ordinary use.

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!

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

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.

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