OP, BOP, FOP, TGFOP - what's the deal? These are shortcuts for grades of tea. An easy way to cut through all the arcane acronyms is to remember that OP or FOP signifies a full leaf tea and anything with a B in it such as BOP or BP means it has broken leaf in it. India and Ceylon teas in particular, are classified, graded and priced according to leaf size. The larger the leaf the higher the price. A full leaf tea such as OP, FOP or TGFOP, will result in a lighter cup than a smaller broken leaf tea such as BOP or CTC granules which are stronger in taste. OP is Orange Pekoe. FOP is Flowery Orange Pekoe. TGFOP is Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe. BOP is Broken Orange Pekoe and CTC is Crush, Tear & Curl. An OP grade does not automatically translate to quality. But it does mean that it has been manufactured as a full leaf tea.
Really rich flavor. Excellent customer service. Fast shipping
Great taste, fast shipping and excellent customer service
My husband recently needed to give up coffee and caffeine. He is loving this smooth roibos
This has become my favorite morning tea. It is rich, smooth and absolutely delicious!
A reliable, delicious tea that's great with milk!
Such a great tea! I really enjoy the rich flavor and excellent mouth feel.
When I am looking for a some real punch in my teacup, I brew Irish Breakfast. It goes well with milk and is great for dunking my favorite biscuits (cookies in the USA).
I grew up in a suburb of Cape Town, called Kenilworth. That is why I tried this blend of black tea. It has become a family favorite.
As I can't consume caffeine anymore, and I have been sad to not be able to drink my Silver Tips regular Earl Grey, I was so excited to find that they also have a decaffeinated Earl Grey! It is lovely and I am now able to enjoy my cup of tea again.
I currently enjoy six teas from Silver Tips. A gang of us in White Plains visited the tea room twice a week. Since there were four of us we ordered four different teas; each of us taking a half cup of each blend. My present choices come from those visits. I miss the shop and all the memories we made there.
High quality, great price
Silver Tips Earl Grey always makes my day! It starts my day, too!
The tumeric chai tea is my favorite hot or iced but the anti inflammatory properties of the Tumeric Chai is a delicious healthy treat I can enjoy every day. I have many flavors from Silver Tips but this flavor is the one I reorder the most.
I am so happy to see that my favorite jasmine tea is back. Just the right balance of smoothness and tastiness has enabled it to be well-received by all to whom I have served it, whether casual or serious tea drinkers.
I only wish there were an organic option. Regardless, I love this tea!
An absolutely wonderful daily drinker. No astringency, and the subtle hint of jasmine is wonderful!
