Okayti FTGFOP1

Fine harvest black teas or Flowery Orange Pekoes are gathered early and carefully, consisting strictly of unopened buds and the first two leaves below. The leaves are delicately rolled lengthwise to release their essential oils. The presence of the tip of the bud is a sign of quality since only the younger shoots are used for the finest teas, thus determining the quality and price of the tea. Categorised in the following manner, from FOP to SFTGFOP1, depending on the percentage of tips, the number '1' when added to the grade defines the tea as of the finest quality within that grade.
