Fatickcherra Estate and Sewpur Estate have Assam CTC BOPs that, somewhat unsurprisingly, are almost twins to each other. In side by sides, the Fatickcherra may be a bit more full mouth, darker, redder, and tastier than the Sewper- or I may have just put a grain or two more tea into the Fatickcherra mixture. They are both good to very good. The Fatickcherra had three people giving it 5 stars at Upton, which I think is hyperbole. The Sewpur was unrated. I brewed according to directions, see no need for "improvement" on the directions, and added no adulterants. Toci

Maybe I'm showing my ignorance here, but I think "CTC BOP" is a contradiction in terms: isn't BOP always orthodox manufacture?
Put another way, while I can understand that the OP part of the grade, saying where on the shoot the leaves come from, is germane, who cares if the leaves were broken before they hit the CTC machinery?
