What does "Flowery Orange Pekoe" (FOP) mean?

What is the caffeine content of Oothu Black Tea?
As a high-grade black tea, it contains moderate to high caffeine (approx. 40-60mg per 8oz cup). It is an excellent natural energy booster for morning and early afternoon service.
What is the recommended brewing temperature for this tea?
For the best malty flavor without bitterness, steep at 208°F to 212°F (100°C) for 3 to 5 minutes. Using boiling water ensures a robust, brisk profile.
How many servings are in a 1 lb. bag?
Depending on brewing strength (approx. 2g per cup), one 1 lb. bag yields approximately 180 to 200 servings, providing high-velocity ROI for food service venues.
Where is the Oothu Estate located?
The Oothu Estate is located in the Manimuthar region of South India. It was the first biodynamic tea garden in India and is world-renowned for its pristine ecosystem.
Can I use this for Kombucha brewing?
Absolutely. Because it is unflavored, organic black tea, it provides the perfect nutrient base for a healthy SCOBY and results in a very high-quality kombucha with a clean, malty base.
How should I store the tea after opening?
Transfer the loose leaf to an airtight, opaque container and store in a cool, dry place away from aromatic spices to prevent the tea from absorbing other scents.
Why buy from a Calgary-based supplier like ChickenPieces.com?
