From The Metropolitan Tea Company

We are pleased to bring you this superb organic FBOP – Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe. FBOP is a broken leaf grade meaning it contains broken leaf pieces and some tips. The resulting cup is bright and full bodied with deep malty notes and a slight hint of fresh toast. One of Assam’s finest offerings, we suggest adding a splash of milk to help open the nuances of the cup.

Great strong black tea! I’m not interested in putting milk in my black tea so I drank this straight and shared it with my meditation group. Everyone enjoyed it. I steeped this tea for only a couple minutes and it took on a dark amber tone. The aroma was refreshing and the taste was crisp but not bitter. I would buy this tea again.

I agree. This is a very good orange pekoe, finely chopped. Be careful though not to over steep. 2 min is plenty!

I probably oversteeped this, but it was very bitter even with a splash of milk. Would probably be better underleafed or with a shorter steep time since it was quite strong and had a bit of fruityness, but I prefer more forgiving teas.

This tea should not be steeped more than 2 minutes. Very powerful. I like it, but not if over steeped.
