Some specialist tea stores list names something like this:
264 Assam Mangalam FTGFOP1 (CL/SP)
I understand everything apart from the number. Anyone know what it means or indicates?

Hi Sapper,
In this case that number is their item code for that tea.

You're probably looking at SpecialTeas.com. The number is just to identify the item number in the store's inventory.

Ok, thanks. I won't worry about it too much then. I saw a three digit number on a couple of sites, not just specialteas.com, so thought there might be more to it. I'll take it that there isn't.

Nah, just makes it easier to refer to a particular tea for those that aren't familiar with the names.
