Assam Autumnal (SATRUPA) FTGFOP.1
*(Tippy, Golden.Flowery. Orange Pekoe. Grade 1)

During the Opium wars (around 1839) which stopped Britain and China trading in tea, the British became worried about the supply of their beloved beverage and searched for new regions to grow it themselves. One region that took well to the plant was Assam in north east India. It was later discovered that a variant of Camellia sinensis (tea), was growing wild in Assam already and today both variants are manufactured side by side and carefully cross pollinated to get the very best leaf for strength, flavour and character.

This is a very special tea manufactured during the Autumnal period. The leaf is large and well made showing an abundance of tip. The liquor is bright and full with a distinctive malty character. A tea of great quality!!

*GRADES:
There are 2 main grades – leaf (or Pekoe) and broken. Pekoe is a corruption of the old Chinese word describing the downy white hairs on the back of a young leaf or bud. A leaf or Pekoe grade is virtually a whole leaf and the largest is ‘orange pekoe’ with ‘orange’ having nothing to do with flavour, but more probably signifying ‘royal’ from the reference the Dutch House of Orange (the Dutch were the first to ship fine teas into Europe). Broken pekoe grades range from the largest pieces of ‘broken orange pekoe’ to the very fine ‘pekoe fannings’ or ‘dust’. We at Botham’s only offer the finest, full leaf ‘pekoe’ or ‘broken orange pekoe’ in our loose tea selection.
