TEAS
About Rinaldo's Teas:
Drinking loose-leaf tea is a delight. I've selected the very best black, green, herbal and red teas. It's absolutely key for me to provide the finest quality and I spent a long time sourcing exactly what I wanted. I love the range of these teas and the quality is second to none. I've also produced brewing information to go with each leaf, so it's easy for you to get the very best out of each cup.

Assam TGFOP1 - Corramore
£4.25
Visit product page →-
TGFOP1: Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe #1
Abbreviations can be a little confusing. I thought TGFOP1 stood for “Thank God For Oscar Peterson’s 1st Symphony”. Only when I became a …erm… tea aficionado did I learn it means Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe #1 (number 1 denoting the very finest grade), and even that at first seemed about as clear as a gluten-free brownie. However, a quick glance on our Nerd Zone tab (above) will reveal that it’s not all double-Dutch.
Assam is well-loved as a delightful, astringent black tea. Our choice is from the Corramore Estate, near Bhutan in the Darrang district of Assam in NE India. The leaves are large, twisted, warm brown and flecked with gold tips (a bit like a footballer’s highlighted perm from the mid-80’s). The infusion is such a stunning mid-amber colour, that were Da Vinci alive, he would most likely dip his is paint brush into it and start on another Madonna and child canvas. And the taste is rich, sweet, malty and smoother than a Peter Stringfellow one-liner. The cup is bright and clean. Enjoy ideally naked or with lemon or milk (Peter might take this too literally!). A great way to salute a new morning. -

About the Assam Region:
This region of India is location in the NE of the country. Assam literally means: “Land of the one-horned rhino” and is a stunning area of dense forest and rolling hills where the vast Brahmaputra River carries rich fertile soil from Tibetan mountains to the agricultural plains that flank the river. It’s a bit like the Lake District without shops selling Kendal Mint Cake and the bank holiday traffic.
Assam is the largest tea-growing area of India, accounting for over 55% of India’s total tea production (around 850,000 tons).
The Brahmaputra Valley borders China, Myanmar and Bangladesh, although Assam teas are as different to Darjeelings as Liverpool fans are to Man Utd’s. Rainfall is extremely high in Assam, (80-120 inches p.a.). It’s not uncommon for a foot of rain to fall in a day and the temperature can reach 40°C on the plantations. The tea plants adore this humid, hot weather and they grow from spring to late autumn, before the cold weather slows their growth. - The grades for whole leaf orthodox black tea are: Ceylon orange pekoe (OP) grades'
OP1 slightly delicate, long, wiry leaf with the light liquor OPA bold, long leaf tea which ranges from tightly wound to almost open OP main grade, in the middle between OP1 and OPA, can consist of long wiry leaf without tips OP Superior primarily from Indonesia, similar to OP Flower OP high quality tea with a long leaf and few tips, considered the second grade in Assam, Dooars and Bangladesh teas, but the first grade in China FOP1 as above, but with only the highest quality leaves in the FOP classification Golden Flower OP1 higher proportion of tip than FOP top grade Tippy Golden FOP the highest proportion of tip, main grade in Darjeeling and Assam TGFOP1 as above, but with only the highest quality leaves in the TGFOP classification -

After storage of up to a month, newly blossomed jasmine flowers are added and then both are hand-rolled into the incredible small pearl shape that is synomymous with this tea.
One of the great things about jasmine tea is that it works wonderfully to aid digestion after meals. I love it as an afternoon drink and the heady aroma of jasmine is so soothing, yet like all teas it is a subtle stimulant to keep you alert.
Also, try adding an infusion to ordinary basmati rice to give it that stunning flavour with your food.
