The Ceylon grades are mostly BOP, FBOP, OP. I've never seen any that
looked like CTC. I recently got a FBOPF where the leaf looks like a
long extremely thin half white half black twist making a very sexy
leaf. Back in the early eighties I got some Ceylon called Lovers
Leap. I just came across it again. I don't know the xlands source.
It is the perfect tea for non tea drinkers. The perfect evening tea
for the rest of us. You simply can't wrong with any commercial brand
Ceylon especially produced for the middle east or Russia.
