What is Ceylon Tea?

Ceylon (say-lawn) tea is a type of tea produced in the island state of Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon. Sri Lanka is small but has a huge range in terms of altitude, climate, soil type, plant varieties and weather, so the flavors and character of the teas produced there vary greatly. Despite regional nuances, the classic Ceylon flavor is generally considered bold, full-bodied and brisk. It has medium to full tannins and some notes of citrus, chocolate or spice.

Ceylon Tea is produced from the dried leaves of the tea plant Camellia sinensis. The leaves are often described as wiry because they are left long and thin with a wire-like appearance. In the world of tea, these leaves are very easy to identify. Most Ceylon teas are orthodox teas, which means they are hand-crafted to make bright, sparkling teas.

 

What is FF 1/ FBOPF 1 Variety?

FF1 Tea is the short name for the Flowery Broken Orange Pekoe Fannings Tea 1, which is also known as Ceylon FBOPF1 Tea. FBOPF1 is highly sought after by Ceylon Black tea enthusiasts for it’s full body flavor. It is manufactured with young tender tea buds and tips. This tea has slightly larger particles compared to the BOP tea. Also it has short slightly wiry, smaller broken leaf particles, which rarely consists of few silvery tips too. This tea can be quickly brewed and has a woody scent. The liquor generally has a dark reddish color and tastes a mellow caramel flavor. This is an ideal grade of Ceylon tea for those who prefer a flavory full bodied cup of tea. Also this is an ideal grade to drink with milk.
