FOP - Flowery Orange Pekoe

Welcome to the world of Flowery Orange Pekoe (FOP) teas. This exquisite category brings together teas that are characterised by the careful selection and processing of young leaves and buds. FOP leaves are intact as a whole, which makes them one of the most sought-after qualities in the tea trade. The teas gathered in this category represent a variety of flavours and textures as unique as their respective regions of origin.

Starting with the Ceylon blends: the "Ceylon Blairlomond FOP", "Ceylon Silvakandy FOP", "Ceylon Nuwara Eliya FOP" and "Ceylon Highgrown FOP" offer a range of flavours from light, almost floral notes to strong, earthy tones. Ceylon teas are known for their golden hues and bright, copper-coloured brew that is a delight both in the cup and on the palate.

The "Yünnan FOP" on the other hand, comes from the Chinese province of Yünnan, known for its rich tea history and production of pu-erh and black teas. This tea brings a sweeter, almost malty note to the blend and shows how diverse FOP teas can be.

The "Ostfriesen Leaf Blend FOP" and "Nilgiri Grahamsland FOP" again offer a different flavour. While the East Frisian offers a strong blend from India, the Nilgiri is characterised by its mild yet intense aroma, reflecting the richness of the Indian terroir.

Each of these FOP teas offers a unique flavour profile that reflects the individual characteristics of the respective growing region and processing techniques. Yet they are all united by their high quality and the meticulous craftsmanship that goes into their production. Try them all and discover the richness and diversity that the world of FOP teas has to offer.
