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.
Finally, the FBOPF Sp tea. This had much finer pieces than the other 2 teas, not sure if the final 'F' in the designation stands for "fannings'. My first brew attempt was ok, but nothing particularly memorable. For the second time, considering the fine level of pieces, I lowered the temp to ~185F and kept the time below 4 minutes. That improved things remarkably for me. Still though, I preferred the other two teas, and do not plan to re-order this one.
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.
Package arrived without problems. Tea is delicious, we enjoytt it every day. Will definitely order again!!
Best way to taste different type of tea. High quality tea with option for tasting. Strongly recommended .
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.
Great flavor, nice rich golden amber color. Tea is rather fine so you will need a fine mesh for brewing. My ceramic inserts had too large of holes. Very energizing.
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.
The colour is amazing! I like to drink this tea together with friends
The Ceylon tea I ordered was of high quality, and it had a light and pleasing taste. It was authentic loose leaf tea, and I would definitely recommend it.
This is a very good BOP Ceylon tea. In fact, after this small order I then ordered the 900 gram bag of the same tea.
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.
