Ceylon Orange Pekoe

Back in the 1860s, when Sri Lanka was called Ceylon, the island's economy was in crisis. The coffee crop had failed, and there was only one thing for it: to grow tea instead. But no one could have imagined how light or fresh that tea would be. After one sip of the amber liquid, the islanders' thirst was quenched. And coffee was forgotten forever.

This blend is made especially for our international business - the leaf grade being "orange pekoe", which means that the tea contains long pointed leaves that have been harvested just after the end buds open into leaf.

From £4.00 for 100g tin loose tea

We believe that how you make your tea is equally as important as the tea you use, so here are our tips:

- Use freshly drawn cold water
- Use water at a “rolling boil” (100?C)
- For best results – use a teapot! Use 1 teaspoon of tea per person and 1 for the pot (or 1 spoon in a cup with a strainer)
- Steep for 3 to 5 minutes (or to your taste)
- Very versatile - great with or without milk
- A light citrus character means it's perfect cooled and iced!
… and for freshness every time, keep your tea somewhere cool, dark, dry and airtight!
