What do the abbreviations after some teas mean; i.e., FTGFOP, OP?
These initials refer to tea grading, one of the most misunderstood subjects concerning tea. To begin with, tea grades are not standardized worldwide. Also, a tea’s grade does not necessarily indicate flavor or quality. Rather, tea flavor and quality are determined by many different factors including: the country of origin, the variety of the tea, the garden or estate where it is grown, the elevation, the particular flush (when the tea is picked), and the manufacturing after harvesting. For more information on this topic, please refer to the What is tea grading? section on our website. BACK TO TOP Which of your teas contain an allergen?
