How to drink English Breakfast Tea?
English Breakfast Tea is a rich, black tea that is specially blended for mixing with sugar and milk in the tradition of hearty and full breakfasts in England. Even though English Breakfast Tea is usually enjoyed hot, I make a great ice tea from it. English Breakfast Tea does contain caffeine.  In one cup ( 8 ounces ) the amount varies from 40 to 70 milligrams.
What does F.O.P. mean?  Flowery Orange Pekoe (F.O.P.) refers to a high quality whole leaf tea with a long leaf and good balance of tips. FOP contains fine, tender young leaves with buds (referred to as tips) and is made from the first two leaves and bud of the shoot. When harvested during the slow growth periods, these young buds have a golden tip, hence the grade 'Flowery', thus making it Flowery Orange Pekoe (FOP). 

What's so great about Bulk Black Tea?
Black Tea leaves contain a number of unique compounds in significantly high levels. Included among them are flavonoids and phytochemicals. Flavonoids have long been know to have anti-oxidant properties which prevent cell damage thought to contribute to more than 50 diseases. Flavonoids also appear to inhibit the formation of blood clots, thus reducing the risk of stroke, and help prevent oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (the "bad" cholesterol), which can damage arteries. Black tea may take up to ten separate steps to process, black tea is fully fermented leaves and is also referred to as red tea for the dark reddish color of their brew. The leaves start out whole but are usually broken or torn during processing. Taste can range from slightly fruity to pungently smoky and are sometimes taken with milk, sugar, lemon or other additives.
