There is a somewhat standard system of grading of teas used in black tea. Green, oolong, and white teas generally do not use this sytem.

The grading of tea is hard to completely describe, but it is broken into whole-leaf teas, including OP = orange pekoe, and adding other letters for higher grades. For example, FTGFOP = Fine Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe. Lower grades of tea are Pekoe and Souchong. Higher grades of tea have more intact leaves, a higher portion of buds, and superior appearance of the leaf.

Broken-leaf tea, considered lower grade, is labelled BOP = Broken Orange Pekoe, and similar descriptors. Broken leaf tea does not have whole leaves, but it has large pieces of leaf.

The lowest grade teas are fannings (F) and dust (D). Fannings are fine pieces, but still recognizable as pieces of leaf. Dust just looks like powder and is the lowest grade. The last letter in the grade tells you what the tea is in these cases, so if it ends in F or D it's fannings or dust.

What does unweighted sum of all grades mean?

It is simply the sum of all grades divided by the number of grades: the arithmetical average of the grades. If some tests were more important than others then you might take a weighted average whereby you attach more importance (weight) to the important tests.


How can I figure out my grade for my final?

If all your grades are weighted the same you add all of your grades together, then divide it by the number of grades you have for example: 97 82 35 67 86 43 (my grades not really) divided by 6 because that is how many grades i have = a 68% 68% is my final grade. If they have different weights then you need to multiply the grade by the % its worth.

What grade of tea is used in tea bags?

There is no general answer to this question; it varies hugely from tea to tea.Most tea bags contain fannings or broken-leaf tea. Some (particularly low-end tea bags) contain dust. Broken-leaf tea consists of larger pieces than fannings, which in turn are larger particles than dust.However, there are some tea bags, especially the higher-quality one often marketed as sachets or pyramid bags, which contain whole-leaf tea or large pieces of broken-leaf tea.The grade of tea used is sometimes advertised on the container. For example, orange pekoe and pekoe are two grades of tea commonly used in some teabags. These grading systems are typically only used for black tea, not for green tea or oolongs.


How many grades are there in Asia?

The number of grades in Asia varies significantly by country and education system. Generally, most countries have a primary education system that includes around 6 grades, followed by secondary education that can span additional 6 grades, divided into lower and upper secondary levels. Some countries may have different structures, such as 9 or 12 grades total, depending on their educational policies. Therefore, there isn't a single answer; it depends on the specific country's educational framework.

How do you find a GPA on a unweighted scale of 4.00?

On an unweighted 4.0 scale an A is worth 4 points, B-3, C-2, D-1,F-0 You take all of your grades, add up the point value of them and divide by the number of grades. So if you have 6 classes with grades A, B, B, C, C, A then it would be 4+3+3+2+2+4 divided by 6 and that's your GPA
