Description

Organic English Breakfast Tea — Orange Pekoe, Loose Leaf

A traditional full-bodied black tea, grown in Sri Lanka and certified organic. This is the Orange Pekoe (OP) grade — long, wiry, largely intact leaves rather than the fine dust that fills commodity teabags — at a natural 10–20mm cut.

How to brew

• One heaped teaspoon (roughly 2–3g) per cup
• Water just off the boil, around 95–100°C
• Steep 3–5 minutes to taste — shorter for a lighter cup, longer for a maltier one
• Add milk if you like, or drink it black

Please note

This tea is minimally processed to keep the leaf intact, so you'll occasionally find a larger or more fibrous piece. That's normal for whole-leaf organic material rather than a fault. Leaf colour and size vary naturally between harvests, and the photographs are a guide to the product.
