Freshly Packed to Order

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

Produced in the Kandy region of Sri Lanka, at a medium elevation of 4,000 foot, Ceylon Kandy BOP obtains its unique flavours from the range of altitudes and the plantation's varied exposure to the Monsoon. Bright, strong and full-bodied, with a slightly coppery tone, Ceylon Kandy BOP is perfect when brewed for around five minutes.

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.

The Kandy region is known for its cool climate and rich soil, which are ideal for growing high-quality tea. Tea cultivation in the region dates back to the 19th century and has grown to such a degree that Kandy is now one of the most important tea-growing regions in the country. The region is home to many small-scale tea farmers, who often use traditional methods to produce tea of the highest quality.

This Ceylon tea delivers a "light, refreshing" and "fragrant" brew that customers praise as "the perfect breakfast tea." Described as "low in tannin but high in flavor," it evokes nostalgia for many. Shoppers appreciate the "robust and flavoursome" taste, with some enjoying it with lime. Delivery was prompt, though one customer faced collection challenges.

Yes very nice. It arrived

Yes very nice. It arrived at the first possible time. I just had trouble collecting it from the postman, and had to mount a guard in order to catch him before he leapt back into his van and drove off. After 4 days I managed to get the tea.

Used to buy high grown tea from Mlesna in Colombo and this reminds me of that tea.

Fragrant, light and invigorating tea.

I was born in Kandy and this lovely fragrant and light tea brings back many fond memories from the past.

Best drunk on its own without milk to appreciate its light delicate flavour.

favourite

Ever since visiting the tea plantations in Sri Lanka, I've been trying to find that tea. This one is very close, a proper breakfast strength ceylon tea.
Great.

Good basic Ceylon tea

Good basic store jar tea. Refreshing tea for hot afternoons when perhaps a Lapsang would be too heavy
