FTGFOP : This acronym stands for "Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe", a tea grading system that indicates the high quality of the leaves. "Tippy" refers to the presence of golden buds (tips) that give the tea a sweeter and smoother taste. "Flowery Orange Pekoe" indicates that the leaves are large and contain buds, which is typical of high quality teas.
1st Flush : Refers to the first harvest of the year, usually between March and April. 1st Flush is highly prized for its freshness and liveliness of flavour, with a light and delicate character.
Singell : Indicates the plantation of origin, in this case the Singell Tea Garden, one of the oldest and most respected plantations in Darjeeling. The specific terroir of this plantation contributes to the unique flavour of the Tea.
