PT. Swarna Agro is a Broken Orange Pekoe Fannings (BOPF) supplier, manufacturer, and exporter based in Indonesia, supplying this black tea grade for wholesale buyers, blenders, and private label brands. BOPF is a widely traded black tea grade, valued for its strong liquor and fast, economical brewing in tea bags.
Characteristics
- Grade name: “Broken” means the leaf is broken during processing, which gives a stronger infusion than whole leaf. “Orange Pekoe” (OP) is part of the black tea grading system and does not mean orange flavouring. “Fannings” are small leaf particles, which is why this grade suits tea bags.
- Flavour profile: Robust, full-bodied and brisk, with a bright, coppery colour in the cup.
- Brewing: About 1 teaspoon per cup, water just off the boil, steeped for 3 to 5 minutes. Longer steeping can add bitterness.
