Orange Pekoe Ceylon – Premium Sri Lankan Black TeaOur Orange Pekoe Ceylon is a beautiful example of pure Ceylon black tea. "Orange Pekoe, " or "OP, " doesn't refer to the tea plant or an orange flavor — it describes the grade of leaf used: young leaves of uniform size, picked just as the tip begins to open. This premium Orange Pekoe is unmatched in quality and strength, and we think you'll agree it's truly a drink to be savored. The tea plantations of Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, are synonymous with some of the world's most famous black teas. Ceylon tea is revered across the Western world for its wonderfully robust and unmistakably aromatic flavor, and this Orange Pekoe is a shining example of why. Tasting Notes
Why You'll Love ItOrange Pekoe Ceylon offers the perfect balance of strength and elegance. Its robust body makes it a satisfying everyday tea, while its honeyed, chocolatey sweetness and bright finish keep every cup interesting. It's delicious plain, with milk or with lemon.
How to EnjoyOrange Pekoe Ceylon is the perfect choice for afternoon tea with friends, a comforting morning cup or a refreshing iced tea on warm days. Serve it with a splash of milk, a slice of lemon or a touch of honey, and pair it with pastries, sandwiches and shortbread. Robust, aromatic and beautifully balanced, Orange Pekoe Ceylon is a timeless classic worth savoring. |

A little steeping tipStart at 2 min and taste — go up to 3 min for a fuller flavour. For a stronger cup, add a little more tea rather than steeping longer.
A fresh way to enjoy itSweeten while the tea is still hot so it dissolves. For a smoother, mellower glass, try cold brew: leaves in cold water in the fridge for 6–8 hours.
