FBOP - Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe

The Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe (FBOP) category is an exquisite collection of teas characterised by their high quality and unique flavour profiles. The FBOP leaf grades feature a special blend of broken leaves and fine buds (also known as "Flowery") that deliver a rich, aromatic infusion. This category is perfect for tea lovers who appreciate the full flavour and complexity of high quality tea.

The "Ceylon Uva Highlands FBOP" comes from the high altitude Uva provinces of Sri Lanka, a region known for producing teas of exceptional quality and unique taste. This tea offers a rare and exquisite taste experience, shaped by the special climatic conditions of the Uva region.

The "Friesische Landrath FBOP" (also available in organic quality) is an excellent representative of the famous East Frisian tea culture. These strong blends are known for their distinctive malty flavour profiles, which are created from a skilful combination of strong, spicy black teas from India and Sumatra. They are ideal for experiencing traditional East Frisian tea preparation at home.

To make them East Frisian style, place a few kluntje (rock candy) in the cup, pour the freshly brewed tea over it and then add a sip of cream. It is important that you do not stir the tea. In this way, you experience a new flavour nuance with every sip, as sometimes the cream content, sometimes the strong black tea and sometimes the sweet sugar flavour predominates.

Each of these teas combines the delicate, "flowery" buds and broken leaves that deliver a rich, full-bodied yet subtle flavour. This commonality makes the FBOP category a real treat for those who can recognise and appreciate the subtle nuances and diversity of flavour in high quality tea.
