Organic Assam TGFOP Loose Tea Leaf

One of the most outstanding black teas on the market is this Organic Assam TGFOP (Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe) Loose Tea Leaf. This tea blend offers an exquisite tasty astringency and a full-on second jammy profile. Enjoy this delicious tea blend with a croppy flavor that describes much sought-after bright creamy liquor, which most high-quality second flush Assams usually have. It has a biscuity characteristic that represents a well-fired Assam prepared at the perfect temperature and timing. Add to that, all good Assam teas pair well with almost any variety of biscuits. This blend has a brisk, lively, and vivacious flavor.

The caffeine content of this tea is MEDIUM. This tea contains natural caffeine found in the L. Camellia Sinensis family. A cup of black tea steeped in boiled water for 5 minutes will contain between 27 to 35 milligrams of caffeine. An equal-sized cup of coffee will contain between 80 - 100 milligrams of caffeine. Caffeine quickly becomes soluble in very hot water. If you wish to reduce the caffeine level in this tea, briefly rinsing the tea leaves in extremely hot water will reduce the caffeine content between 25-50% with only a minor effect on taste.

This tea's antioxidant content is VERY HIGH. The longer you steep your tea the more polyphenols will be extracted based on test results from 5 minutes steeping time. Polyphenol percentages may fluctuate with a lot, grade of tea, testing method, the temperature of the water, and freshness of tea. More antioxidants, like L. Camellia Sinesis, are extracted from the tea the longer it is brewed. And the more tea is used, the greater the antioxidant benefit.
