Ceylon Black Tea, FBOP Grade

Ceylon black tea is grown across all seven tea-growing regions of Sri Lanka, according to the Export Development Board. The Board lists Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe (FBOP) among the broken leaf varieties of orthodox Ceylon black tea. The Sri Lanka Tea Board explains that manufactured tea is graded by leaf size with a mechanical sifter. The Tea Board describes FBOP as similar to Broken Orange Pekoe but bigger in size. It is a coarser, semi-leaf tea with a small portion of tips. The Tea Board characterises the brew as mild yet flavourful. Buyers choose it when they want a larger leaf than BOP with visible tips. Typical uses are loose leaf packs, tea in packets and blending. This tea is listed as available on request, as a standard export product of Sri Lanka. Packaging is available on request.
