This whole leaf tea from india's premier tea district has a sweet, pungent flavor and bright aroma. "land of the thunderbolt" is the meaning of "darjeeling," and it is an appropriate moniker for the place that produces such lively-tasting teas. "f.o.p." stands for flowery orange pekoe, the traditional term for india whole leaf grades. this is one of the best decaf teas we have tasted, and most of the darjeeling character is retained after decaffeination - a slightly sweet and pungent flavor with light color and bright aroma. each 4 oz tin of loose leaf tea makes about 40 cups.
