Tea

India is one of the world’s leading producers and exporters of tea, known for its rich flavor, strong aroma, and superior quality. At Radhe Exim, we supply premium Assam tea and Darjeeling tea, carefully sourced from trusted plantations and processed to meet international export standards.

Assam tea is widely appreciated for its bold taste, deep color, and strong liquor, making it ideal for daily consumption and blends. Darjeeling tea, often referred to as the “Champagne of Teas,” is known for its delicate aroma, light taste, and unique muscatel flavor, making it a premium choice in global markets.

Tea - Grading System Of Black Tea

Teas are often designated as OP or FOP. These designations are part of the grading system used for whole leaf black teas and refer to the leaf size and amount of tip in the tea.

“Pekoe” means teas picked as 2 leaves and a bud.

OP, or Orange Pekoe, is a full-leaf tea with no tip or buds.

FOP, or Flowery Orange Pekoe, is a longer leaf than an OP and has some buds.

Tea grading plays a crucial role in determining the quality, size, and usage of tea leaves. Black tea is classified into two main grading systems: orthodox tea grades and CTC tea grades.
