Freshly Packed to Order

Our teas are carefully packed to order to preserve aroma, freshness, and flavour

Sourced from the historical Dimbula planting region, one of the six principal tea planting regions in Sri Lanka, Ceylon Dimbula BOP reveals bold and fresh flavours, with a smooth taste that is enhanced beautifully when prepared with milk.

Dimbula, one of the main tea-growing regions in Sri Lanka, is located in the central hills of Sri Lanka at an altitude of around 1,200 to 2,000 meters above sea level, where cool temperatures and a high altitude provide ideal growing conditions.

Ceylon, or Sri Lankan teas are characteristically light and delicate, revealing wonderfully sweet and fruity flavours. The “BOP” refers to a particular grade of tea, “Broken Orange Pekoe”, part of the Orange Pekoe category of tea grade, one of the highest black tea grades available. BOP leaves are indeed broken, allowing for a faster release of flavours and aroma during the brewing process, resulting in a stronger and robust flavour.

Brew these leaves for a little longer than usual to really experience the strong flavours.

This Ceylon BOP tea delivers a strong, malty brew with "low tannin content" ideal for any time of day. Most customers praised its authentic quality and intense flavor, though some found it darker and less flavorful than expected. Customers noted it mixes well with other teas and makes an "excellent breakfast tea."

Good Quality Breakfast Tea

Intense umami (meaty) flavour without any bitterness. I find it difficult to resist.

I thought to give this a try but decided the flavour is not as good as our usual order of the Ceylon Orange Pekoe. Not much depth fairly bland .

Dimbula BOP

A strong and dark brew with great malty flavour. A good alternative to Assam, great for that morning cup of tea. This is one of our regular purchases.

Just as I remembered it

Over 30 years ago my wife-to-be and I stayed for two nights on a tea plantation in Dimbula. We saw the whole process of tea making and learned how to make perfect Dimbula tea. Now I can enjoy that experience again (although my wife is now intolerant of tannins and no longer drinks tea). THANK YOU.
