Description

Darjeeling Broken Orange Pekoe is a celebrated tea, hailing from the picturesque Darjeeling region in the foothills of the Himalayas. Renowned as the “Champagne of Teas,” Darjeeling teas are prized for their delicate flavours and unique characteristics.

Broken Orange Pekoe (BOP) is a specific grade of Darjeeling tea where the leaves are broken into smaller pieces. This allows for a faster infusion time, making it a convenient choice for those seeking a quicker brew without compromising on flavour. Despite its smaller leaf size, BOP retains the essence of Darjeeling’s distinctive qualities.

Darjeeling teas are known for their light, golden-red liquor and complex flavour profile. They exhibit floral and fruity notes, with hints of muscatel, citrus, and even a subtle spiciness. The terroir of the Darjeeling region, with its unique microclimates and rich soil, contributes significantly to the tea’s distinct character.

Darjeeling Broken Orange Pekoe offers a delightful balance of strength and subtlety. Its brisk and refreshing nature makes it an excellent choice for both morning and afternoon tea. Whether enjoyed plain or with a splash of milk, BOP delivers a truly memorable tea experience.
