Sieving & Sorting:

Irregular tea can be then sorted into common grades via mechanical jarring sieves. A good, high-yielding production has the following results / qualities:

  • Leaf (SFTGFOP1, FTGFOP1, TGFOP1, GFOP, FOP) = 6%
  • Small leaf (FP, PEKOE) = 20%
  • Large Broken (FBOP) = 15%
  • Feine Broken (GFBOP, GBOP) = 20%
  • Fannings (BOPF, OF) + Dust (PD);
  • Both grades are for tea bags only = 39%

Explanation of the abbreviations with the use of some examples:

  • S (=Super)
  • F (=Finest)
  • T (=Tippy)
  • G (= Golden)
  • F (= Flowery)
  • P (=Pekoe)
  • B (=Broken)
  • F (=Fannings)

Further quality descriptions, like above, are formed out of these abbreviations. Black tea usually has a dark brown until black leaf and can taste anything from fine-flowery to fully aromatic and strong.
