Golden tips bring natural sweetness and softness to the cup, while notes of cocoa, date and gentle stone fruit give this Special Selection real depth — a commanding breakfast tea that is equally rewarding with milk or enjoyed black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"17ysncp\" data-start=\"1099\" data-end=\"1168\"\u003eAssam Mangalam FTGFOP1 Loose Leaf Black Tea from a Renowned Estate\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1170\" data-end=\"1584\"\u003eMangalam Estate is one of Assam’s most respected tea gardens, and its FTGFOP1 teas are widely admired for their abundant golden tips, dark amber liquor and rich, full-bodied flavour. Specialist retailers consistently describe Mangalam as a premium orthodox Assam with malty depth, spice and a naturally smooth finish, making it one of the standout estate teas in the category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1586\" data-end=\"1781\"\u003eThis Special Selection captures everything that makes the estate so appealing: strength without harshness, richness without heaviness and enough finesse to reward slower, more attentive drinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1p3c8wm\" data-start=\"1783\" data-end=\"1831\"\u003eBold Malt, Cocoa Depth and Natural Sweetness\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1833\" data-end=\"2104\"\u003eIn the cup, this Assam Mangalam FTGFOP1 loose leaf black tea brews to a deep, dark amber infusion with excellent clarity. The flavour is boldly malty and full-bodied, with warm cocoa-like richness, date sweetness and a gentle stone-fruit note emerging towards the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2106\" data-end=\"2419\"\u003eThe high proportion of golden tips contributes to a smoother, rounder texture than many robust Assams, giving the tea a rich but polished feel on the palate. Comparable specialist descriptions also highlight caramel, cocoa and ripe-fruit depth in Mangalam teas of this grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"xd5kmy\" data-start=\"2421\" data-end=\"2463\"\u003ePremium FTGFOP1 Assam with Golden Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2465\" data-end=\"2775\"\u003eFTGFOP1, or Fine Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe grade 1, denotes a carefully made orthodox leaf with a generous proportion of prized golden tips. In Mangalam, those tips are a defining feature of the tea’s appearance and character, signalling both careful plucking and a naturally sweeter, more refined cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2777\" data-end=\"3038\"\u003eCompetitor pages regularly emphasise the long, wiry leaf, golden-tipped appearance and rich, malty character of Assam Mangalam FTGFOP1, supporting its position as a premium estate Assam rather than a standard breakfast tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1ofgugg\" data-start=\"3040\" data-end=\"3055\"\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"3057\" data-end=\"3283\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"rtofsp\" data-start=\"3057\" data-end=\"3089\"\u003eTea type: Loose leaf black tea\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"16xaxms\" data-start=\"3090\" data-end=\"3139\"\u003eOrigin: Mangalam Estate, Sibsagar, Assam, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"kembi2\" data-start=\"3140\" data-end=\"3156\"\u003eGrade: FTGFOP1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"pp24fz\" data-start=\"3157\" data-end=\"3182\"\u003eLiquor: Deep dark amber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1r6pxbr\" data-start=\"3183\" data-end=\"3246\"\u003eFlavour: Malty, cocoa-rich, softly fruity and naturally sweet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"o81p5g\" data-start=\"3247\" data-end=\"3283\"\u003eBest enjoyed: With milk or without\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"ixi6op\" data-start=\"3285\" data-end=\"3332\"\u003eA Commanding Assam for Breakfast and Beyond\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3334\" data-end=\"3596\"\u003eAssam Mangalam FTGFOP1 is an excellent tea for the first cup of the morning.

If drinking it black, a slightly shorter brew of around 2½ to 3 minutes will keep the liquor smooth and balanced while preserving the finer cocoa and fruit notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"lbjtps\" data-start=\"4190\" data-end=\"4205\"\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4207\" data-end=\"4277\"\u003eAssam black tea from Mangalam Estate, Sibsagar district, Assam, India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"fdu6a6\" data-start=\"4279\" data-end=\"4305\"\u003eAbout High Teas London\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4307\" data-end=\"4604\"\u003eHigh Teas London has been sourcing distinctive loose leaf teas and infusions since 2008.
