Organic Assam TGFOP tea

Organic Assam TGFOP Tea comes from India’s renowned Assam tea-growing region in the northeastern Brahmaputra Valley. TGFOP stands for “Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe,” one of the highest grades in the Orthodox tea classification system. The “tippy golden” designation indicates an abundance of golden-tipped buds, which contribute sweetness and visual beauty to the finished tea.

Flavor Profile

Assam TGFOP delivers a bold, full-bodied cup with a rich malty character, brisk astringency, and a smooth, slightly sweet finish from the golden tips. This is a robust morning tea that stands up beautifully to milk and sweetener without losing its personality. The liquor is a deep copper-red with a bright, clear appearance.

How to Brew Assam TGFOP

Use one teaspoon per 8 ounces of boiling water. Steep for 3 to 5 minutes depending on desired strength. This tea takes milk exceptionally well and is the traditional base for English Breakfast and Irish Breakfast blends. For iced tea, brew double strength and pour over ice.

Popular Uses

Tea brands use Assam TGFOP as a premium single-origin offering, as the backbone of breakfast tea blends, and as a base for chai. Its bold, malty character provides the foundation that holds up to spices, milk, and sweetener in blended products. The golden tips also make it visually appealing for loose-leaf retail.

Sourcing and Quality

Hatton Naturals sources its certified organic Assam TGFOP directly from small-scale tea gardens in India’s Assam region. Each batch is carefully processed to preserve the golden tips and the tea’s characteristic malty depth. Store in an airtight, opaque container away from light and strong odors.
