About our Organic China Black Tea, F.O.P (Keemun)
Each Bag: 1 oz
Keemun is considered one of the best Chinese black teas. Due to its superb bouquet, this black tea is often referred to as the “burgundy of teas”. This full-bodied, sweet licorice tea produces a dark red cup with a slightly sweet flavor and a fruity aroma. It makes an excellent iced tea and does not cloud easily.
Flowery Orange Pekoe (F.O.P.) refers to a high-quality whole-leaf tea with long leaves and a good balance of tips. FOP contains fine, tender young leaves with buds (referred to as tips) and is made from the first two leaves and buds of the shoot. When harvested during the slow growth periods, these young buds have a golden tip, hence the grade 'Flowery', thus making it Flowery Orange Pekoe (FOP).
Brewing: Pour 8 oz of simmering water (185-195° F preferred) over 1 tsp. of tea. Steep 3-4 minutes. Do not oversteep to avoid bitterness
