Together with our Glenburn Assam Golden Tips, it is one of the main reasons Friends of Tea exists: it was at Glenburn, while shooting a video, that we came up with the idea of bringing high-quality teas straight to you – no detours and no middlemen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTaste\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Glenburn Darjeeling has the typical light and floral Darjeeling taste. When we close our eyes, we feel transported straight back to the old colonial era, surrounded by tea bushes in the Indian highlands. Freshly brewed, the tea tastes fruity, light and refreshing. As it cools down a little, mild citrus notes come to the fore. The cup color is a delicate yellow-orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tea comes from the Glenburn Tea Estate in the Darjeeling region.

Warm up your cup and teapot beforehand so the tea doesn’t cool down too quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat does FTGFOP1 actually mean?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFOP1 stands for the care taken when plucking: only the buds with the top two tender leaves are picked, while coarser leaves of lower quality stay on the bush. In Darjeeling, the number one is awarded to leaves of the highest grade. FTG, short for “Finest Tippy Golden”, means that the tea contains many fine, light-colored tips. The tips are lighter because they contain less cell sap. So with an FTGFOP1 tea, you get one of the highest-quality Darjeeling teas made from the best leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVideo\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fot-video\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/_FtvYoVIQuQ?rel=0\" title=\"Glenburn Darjeeling First Flush FTGFOP1 – Video\" loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2016, we had the chance to be part of the shoot for an image video for the Glenburn Tea Estate.
