This approach will provide a comprehensive and accurate description of BOPF tea.

BOPF stands for Broken Orange Pekoe Fannings. It is a specific grade of black tea known for its small, granular size and strong flavor.

Unlike whole-leaf teas, BOPF is produced by crushing or cutting the tea leaves into very fine particles. This process, also known as CTC (Cut, Tear, Curl) production, breaks down the leaves, which in turn releases more flavor and color during brewing.
