The tea arrived yesterday, and the first cup was just as delicious as the countless cups I enjoyed in Sri Lanka.

I recently reviewed this tea and gave it 4 stars; I want to up that rating to 5 stars.

I've been drinking it a lot, essentially trying to use it up, but dialing in the brewing parameters along the way.

Now with 3.5 g in 300 ML 190F water for 3.5 minutes, it is very good tea, with a nice after-effect, pleasant flavor, an all-around good experience.

I prefer a tea that is not so finicky, but once the right brewing conditions are strictly in place, this is very good.

OPA tea; A touch sweeter than the OP1, with nice large leaves. However, my brewing parameters (4 g of 300mL water at 200F for 4 minutes) needed to be nudged up a bit, as it was a little weak with my current parameters. At my next session I increased the tea to 4.2 g, and the temp to boiling, keeping the time at barely over 4 minutes. This improved it a lot.

Overall, I found this tea similar to Akbar Royal Gold OPA, probably my favorite Ceylon tea available on Amazon.
A very good tea.

I am comparing 3 teas, the OP1, OPA, and FPOPF Sp teas, received in one order

The OP1: Fabulous tea. I brewed it at 4g in 300mL in 200F water for 4 minutes. Easily the best Ceylon tea I have had so far in my life. I will definitely reorder it.

The quality and taste of the golden tips are excellent. Processing and shipping of the order took about six weeks.
Being charged with an additional costume fee was a disappointment.

Delicious! I'm no tea expert, but I drink it regularly. The flavor never gets old, making it perfect for everyday consumption. It's great any way you have it - with milk, straight, or as masala chai.

This tea has been my family's favorite out of the three we have tried which were the OP1, FBOPF1, and FBOPFsp. We enjoy it both brewed hot and cold. My kids especially like it iced.

Absolutely wonderful,
Exceptional body and mouth-feel, beautiful dark ember color. The taste trends more towards fresh and vegetal than earthy caramel notes. So overall very good FBOPF Sp.

This is a strong and flavourful breakfast style tea. International delivery by airmail was reasonably quick. I would like to know the names of the individual tea gardens sold here.
