Spicy, earthy and naturally sweet, it offers satisfying body without harshness — a versatile origin tea that is equally rewarding as a morning cup, an afternoon brew or a slower tea taken plain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"b4lc1b\" data-start=\"522\" data-end=\"580\"\u003eYunnan Loose Leaf Black Tea with Bronze-Tipped FOP Leaf\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"582\" data-end=\"898\"\u003eYunnan Select A FOP is a distinctive black tea from southwest China, a province celebrated for producing smooth, full-flavoured teas with natural sweetness and depth. The dark, medium-long leaf is scattered with attractive bronze-coloured tips, reflecting careful plucking and a well-made Flowery Orange Pekoe grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"900\" data-end=\"1051\"\u003eThis is a tea with genuine presence in the cup: warming, aromatic and gently full-bodied, yet softer and less astringent than many stronger black teas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"12vlj86\" data-start=\"1053\" data-end=\"1090\"\u003eSpicy, Earthy and Naturally Sweet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1092\" data-end=\"1349\"\u003eIn the cup, this Yunnan loose leaf black tea brews to a clear amber-red liquor with a smooth, rounded body. The flavour is warmly spicy and lightly earthy, with a mellow natural sweetness and a woody aromatic note that lingers pleasantly through the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1351\" data-end=\"1493\"\u003eIt has depth without heaviness and character without difficulty, making it an excellent tea for both regular drinking and slower appreciation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1wb7o3h\" data-start=\"1495\" data-end=\"1559\"\u003eFlowery Orange Pekoe from a Classic Chinese Black Tea Region\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1561\" data-end=\"1783\"\u003eThe FOP grade, or Flowery Orange Pekoe, indicates a well-picked leaf with a noticeable proportion of fine tips.
