What does "TF" mean?

Hi tea fans. I’m kind of new to pu-erh and I’ve ordered a few things from Chawang Shop and Yunnan Sourcing. I’ve noticed that several pu-erh teas are labeled “TF”. What does that mean? I’m sure it doesn’t mean true/false . . . :-)

It actually means recipe made for Taiwan.

Actually Fei Tai is Xiaguans biggest importer in Taiwan. Special blends originally for that customer and market.

Oh I see, Chawangshop was just abbreviating. I wonder if it’s deliberate to get it into search results.

No you are right Cwyn. It is the export line of XG. Translation has a bunch to do with it.

Interesting. It’s a great way to reduce often overly long product titles.
