Tinkers Tea Pleasanteas

Description

Tinkers Tea is blended to match the style favored by the tea-loving Tinkers of the 13th century.  Tinkers consumed whole tea leaves or just whipped ground tea into hot water until it became frothy.  We have captured the energy of the tinker’s concoction with our organic black teas. A deep full-bodied experience embracing a warm, bold flavor and aroma with a velvety smooth texture. Compliment with milk and your favorite sweetener to be enjoyed either hot or over ice.

Preparation: Pour 8 oz of simmering water (185-195° F preferred) over 1 tsp. of tea. Steep 3-4 minutes.

Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe (T.G.F.O.P.) is FOP with a larger number of tips. When these tips are in abundance, the terms ‘Tippy and Golden’ are attached to FOP, thus making it Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe. TGFOP is the top grade of OP tea.

Flowery Orange Pekoe (F.O.P.) refers to a high-quality whole leaf tea with a long leaf and good balance of tips. FOP contains fine, tender young leaves with buds (referred to as tips) and is made from the first two leaves and bud of the shoot. When harvested during the slow growth periods, these young buds have a golden tip, hence the grade ‘Flowery’, thus making it Flowery Orange Pekoe (FOP).
