Ceylon BOP black tea

The Ceylon BOP (Broken Orange Pekoe) is a premium Sri Lankan black tea, renowned for its fine cut and powerful aromas. Grown in the Sri Lankan highlands, it is made from a meticulous selection of young tea leaves, partially broken after picking to concentrate the flavors.

The term BOP designates a broken sheet (Broken), medium-sized, which produces a lively, full-bodied and fragrant infusion, with a lovely roundness in the mouth. This type of tea is highly valued for its aromatic intensity and its ability to be enjoyed both straight and enhanced with a drop of milk, following the British traditions of Ceylon tea.

Originating from iconic regions like Nuwara Eliya, Uva, and Dimbula, BOP Ceylon black tea embodies the richness of Sri Lankan terroirs: a subtle balance between strength, freshness, and elegance. Ideal for starting the day or accompanying a moment of concentration, it is known for its natural antioxidant content and its clean taste, without excessive bitterness.

For a rounder, sweeter flavor, you can add a splash of milk after brewing. The BOP lends itself perfectly to this tradition without losing its aromatic vibrancy.
