Superior quality 100% pure Ceylon Tea Natural Ingredients Free from artificial additives

Treat yourself to this exquisite grade of Ceylon Tea. Orange Pekoe-A (OPA) tea, which comprises slightly larger leaves compared to other Orange Pekoe varieties like OP and OP1. Our specially selected blend of premium quality OPA is grown in the Ruhuna region of Sri Lanka. The OPA tea grade boasts the largest leaves of all Ceylon black teas, presenting an aesthetically pleasing appearance with long, bold, and slightly twisted tea leaves. Once brewed, this tea releases a rich aromatic forest-like scent. The liquor typically exhibits a light golden reddish color and a delicate, lighter taste compared to all other Ceylon Black teas. Due to its larger leaf size, this tea requires a slightly longer brewing time than other teas.

“Fruity and floral”

More floral than standard Earl Grey, really elegant. The longer leaf looks beautiful and tastes refined.

“Treat yourself tea”

Fruity bergamot with a soft floral lift. Feels special without being fussy. Gifted a tin already.

“Lovely BOP1 grade”

Nice wiry, twisted long leaves, fragrant cup. Slightly lighter than Royale but I like that for afternoon.
