Origin and character
Grown in the lofty tea gardens of Nepal, this tea comes from a relatively young plantation situated at high altitudes. The unique terroir imparts a distinct character to the tea, making it a fascinating alternative for those who appreciate the nuances of Darjeeling teas.
Flavor profile
The Nepal FTGFOPI Maloom offers a delightful tasting experience:
- Very flavorful: Expect a rich and complex taste that reflects its high-altitude origin.
- Slightly fruity: Subtle fruit notes add depth and interest to the cup.
- Low in tannins: This results in a smoother, less astringent brew compared to some black teas.
- Golden Nepal quality: Harvested in summer, this tea represents the prized "Golden Nepal" category.
Leaf appearance
The dry leaves are dark, twisted, and full of tips. This abundance of tips (the youngest, most prized part of the tea shoot) contributes to the tea's superior flavor and indicates careful plucking and processing.

The grade "FTGFOPI" provides insight into the tea's quality:
- FTG: Fine Tippy Golden - indicating a high-quality tea with plenty of golden tips
- FOP: Flowery Orange Pekoe - a grade of whole leaf tea
- I: First grade, the highest quality within its category
Brewing suggestions
To fully appreciate this tea's character:
- Use water just off the boil (95°C/203°F)
- Steep for 3-4 minutes
- Enjoy plain to experience its full flavor profile, or add a touch of milk if preferred
This Nepal FTGFOPI Maloom offers tea enthusiasts a chance to explore the growing world of high-quality Nepalese teas. Its unique character makes it an excellent choice for those looking to expand their tea horizons beyond traditional Darjeeling or other well-known black teas.
