Tea
The Ceylonese BOPF
Loose leaf · From Nuwara Eliya and Udu Pussallawa regions
This Broken Orange Pekoe Fanning (BOPF) is the quintessential English breakfast tea and comes from tea gardens in the Nuwara Eliya and Udu Pussallawa regions. It defines “Ceylon tea” and is the most popular of teas consumed in Sri Lankan households. You’ll find BOPFs, similar to The Ceylonese, in many teabags due to its quick brewing characteristic. These tea leaves have a neat appearance with the leaves broken into smaller pieces. This aromatic tea brews to a vibrant copper colour with a strong bold taste and the perfect ‘pick me up’ for your morning cup.
Wild Monsoon
Loose leaf · From Ruhuna (a.k.a. Southern or Matara) region
We harvested our Wild Monsoon tea from the Southern province of Sri Lanka in the Ruhuna tea district. This tea grows in an area nourished by high humidity and monsoon season, and surrounded by diverse wildlife. The forests of Ruhuna are home to elephants, leopards, bears, wild boar, deer, giant flamingos, and of course, the finest teas. The area is teeming with life; it is never dull. Dark gold in colour, this tea is mild, malty, and fine, and delivers to your pallet a lively flavour that tastes like adventure.
