Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe
Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe — an FOP carrying plenty of golden bud. Common on Darjeeling.
TGFOP stands for Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe: an FOP that carries a high proportion of golden bud. Codes such as FTGFOP and SFTGFOP indicate still more tip.
Longer codes usually mean more tip and more careful work, but as there is no unified standard they cannot be used to rank teas across regions or makers.
