Ceylon BOP – Bright, Bold, and Beautifully Balanced
A classic Ceylon black tea with unmistakable character, our Ceylon BOP (Broken Orange Pekoe) is a full-bodied, brisk, and deeply satisfying cup, perfect for any time of day.
What Makes It Special
Sourced from the lush, sun-drenched tea gardens of Sri Lanka, this blend features carefully selected medium-sized broken leaves, which brew quickly to release rich caramel depth, gentle floral notes, and a clean, bright finish. Expect a deep copper liquor and a crisp, slightly sweet aroma that lingers on the palate.
Origin & Craft
Grown at mid to high elevations in Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon), this tea benefits from the island’s unique terroir: fertile soil, tropical rainfall, and mountain breezes. The BOP grade (Broken Orange Pekoe) refers to its finely broken leaf size, which ensures a quicker infusion and stronger flavour compared to whole leaf varieties.
BOP teas are often preferred for their punchy cup and make an excellent, more refined alternative to everyday breakfast blends.
Tea Lover’s Tip
Try it without milk first to appreciate the natural caramel and floral tones before softening with milk or sweetener.
