Grown on the south side of the Brahmaputra River near the remote region of Nagaland, Bukhial TGFOP Assam is a premium tea with a traditional leaf style. As rainfall is lower in this area, the bushes grow more slowly yielding outstanding crops that have all the flavour and strength you would expect from a top Assam tea estate.

It took over 10 years for Assam tea to be classified and accepted as tea. You can find out more in our article at the Tea Hub: History Of Tea in Assam

Bukhial TGFOP Assam Tea: Your FAQ Guide


We've gathered the most frequently asked questions your customers might ask!

What is Bukhial TGFOP Assam Tea?

Bukhial TGFOP, which stands for "Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe", is a high-quality, full-bodied black tea sourced from the Bukhial tea garden in Assam, India. This tea is noted for its rich malty flavour, bright colour, and the presence of abundant 'tips', which are young tea leaves that add a unique taste and aroma.

How is Bukhial TGFOP Assam Tea Produced?

Bukhial TGFOP Assam tea undergoes a careful, traditional production process. Tea leaves are handpicked, primarily in the summer, during the second period of growth known as the "second flush." These leaves are then oxidised, a chemical process that changes their colour from green to dark brown and enhances their malty flavour. Following this, the tea is dried, sorted and graded into categories - with TGFOP being one of the highest grades.

What are the Health Benefits of Bukhial TGFOP Assam Tea?

Drinking Bukhial TGFOP Assam tea is known to yield several health benefits. This black tea is rich in antioxidants called polyphenols, which may help protect against chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer. It may also help boost weight loss, improve gut health, and reduce blood pressure. In addition, Assam tea contains caffeine, which can provide a gentle energy boost.
